169 Homeless Pets Adopted in Lehigh County

Lehigh County Humane Society hopes March will be just as successful for pet adoptions as January and February were.

Posted by Susan Koomar (Editor), March 6, 2013 at 01:30 pm

Lehigh Valley Humane Society reports on its Facebook page:

We sold 63 spay/neuter certificates in the month of February. Since January 1-February 28, we found new loving homes for 169 homeless cats/dogs. Thank you all so much for helping us do so! Let's keep our paws crossed that March will be just as successful!

A recent tally noted 101dogs—including 89 pit bull mixes—being cared for, loved, receiving veterinary care and looking for forever homes at the LCHS.

This is the breed that needs rescuing, this is the breed that needs a forever home.

This is good news! People need to stop being such elitists about dogs, A shelter dog will love you more than any one that you pay hundreds of dollars for. I know, I have the sweetest, happiest, most loving little guy that I adoped a year ago in January. He has brought immense joy to me and everyone who comes in contact with him.

Yes, and the person next to you drinking cannabis tea, does not effect you. The person who just…Read More vaporized, does not effect you. Those hash oil tablets I just ate, won't effect you. Non-smoking means non-smoking - if there is someone smoking next to you, get out of the smoking section. You are right, marijuana is not like alcohol. If I were sitting next to you while I was high, and you annoyed the piss out of me by complaining about smokers in place that obviously allows smoking, I would just laugh it off or move away. I could smoke all night, and my mood would not change. If I were to drink, and keep drinking, eventually I would get confrontational, and we would be fighting. So, the guy next to you drinking can indeed effect you.
