Overwhelming

So at the weekend I visited Kerryl's place in Taiping. There are 34 dogs there running around in comaparative comfort and security. The past 2 weekends I have done the rounds on Sunday at the Gongyi dog park to see who the regular faces are. After seeing Sean's place in Taipei which has 30+ dogs and these places, the amount of need overwhelms me. I see all these beautiful, happy dogs. Some of them have been injured, thrown away, abused. Some are missing limbs, but are still so vital and full of energy, and some are ill and need special attention. They are all relatively happy where they are in these shelters because they are safe and looked after. But conditions aren't perfect in either of these places, and these wonderful loving personalities all need good homes where they can be treated as special, and lots of affection. What will happen to these dogs? The shelters are full to bursting and they are in direct competition from all those cute pedigree puppies that are sold from pet shops everyday. There are so many more dogs on the streets waiting to be found and taken in, not to mention the pedigree pet shop pups which have grown too large, inconvenient or expensive for whoever bought them, waiting to be given or thrown away. What can be done to help the dogs already rescued?
