If you're considering adding a furry member to your family, please consider adoption.
Many of these Kill Shelters gas their animals when they can't find homes quickly.
Please spay and neuter, encourage others to do so and support efforts to make low cost spaying and neutering available.
Let's change this!

Portland , Oregon – A bald eagle was rescued after it had been hit by a car on Interstate 84.
The bald eagle was reportedly feeding on something near the highway when it was struck by a car. According to Lieutenant Rich Chatman of Portland Fire and Rescue, several drivers flagged down a passing fire truck to inform the firefighters about the injured eagle.
A rescue team responded to the injured eagle. The rescue team shut down two lanes of the westbound traffic on the highway for about 20 minutes in order to save the protected bald eagle. The bald eagle, who had an 8-foot wingspan, was lying in the highway’s shoulder.
According to Don Hamilton, Oregon Department of Transportation spokesman, Multnomah County Animal Control transported the injured eagle to the Audubon Society of Portland for evaluation.
KATU News reported an update on the protected male bald eagle. “He has a broken leg and injuries to both feet after being hit by car. He’s been stabilized and X-rayed.”
Bald eagles were once listed as a highly endangered species, however the population has rebounded to the point where they are no longer considered endangered anymore. Bald eagles are still protected under the Bald and Golden Eagle Protection Act, which prohibits people from selling or taking a bald or golden eagle, or any part of their nests.
Thank you to all the concerned highway drivers, the firefighters, and those who helped save this bald eagle.
