Hortensia needs a few lessons in rescue reality – first, adopters are not the enemy, they are the desired escape for every animal currently confined to a crate or a run. Second, every adopter that is turned away, whether for good reasons or bad, is one more space that is not available for an incoming animal in need – if you don’t adopt them out you either become a hoarder or you close your doors to those in need.

I hope no children are reading these comments Susan, it’s fine to be passionate but remember where we are. A lot of times my 7 year old daughter reads over my shoulder.

And is she clear on what happens to animals that don’t get adopted???

Josh. if you’re reading this strip (and my posting), don’t lether join our group! She’s a pathological liar!

Fire her! Fire her!

Um, I know that you’re voicing what we’re all thinking, but could you not post bad language please? I have a little sister who reads this comic strip, and sometimes she reads it over my shoulder.

Some of the most loving creatures I have ever known were female dogs.Calling a despicable woman a b—— is an insult to their memories.

Wrong Answer!

Don’t fire her. Just put her on clean up duty for the animals.

I just hope this is a no-kill shelter!

@ kathy – the cartoon isn’t real, but the sterotype being portrayed is all too familiar.

If we call her a witch it would offend the Wiccans.That “see you next Tuesday” word is taking it too far.It’s kind of funny to call women the “D” word that is a nickname for Richard, (because they don’t have one) but again, over the top.I’m at a loss.

And technically, since she’s being overly motherly to the dogs, she really is acting like a B….
