Congratulations!! What an amazing campaign! More people need to realize that when you get an animal, it should be for life, not just for the cute period. Dogs are a lot of work. They don't just come to you with the temperment and manners to want. You have to work to get these things, and work hard. This is an amazing message to pass on to anyone thinking of getting a dog. You wouldn't have a baby and give it away because it isn't exactly what you wanted, why would you do that to a dog? I love the idea of this campaign!! Kudos to all involved.

This is totally true. People should step back and take a look at what they are doing.

Today, a man called us because he wanted to get rid of his 2 small two year old terrier mixes because said they were too big (11 1bs each!). He said that he wanted a smaller puppy instead. I said to him DON'T GET ANOTHER DOG and I wrote down this website address. Thanks for providing this website so we can attempt to educate irresponsible people like this guy.

The Don't get a dog campaign is brilliant. Not only create awareness in those who are trying to get a dog but also make you think and evaluate yourself. I posted the campaign in my blog http://dogs-news.com/ Thank you for the good work!

Thank you for doing this. It is time for people to be shaken up and realize what some people are doing to their dogs. We will be using your posters here in BC Canada as well.. Keep up the good work. Dogs Do Deserve Better

Good work! This is a much-needed next step in letting people know that a pet is nothing short of a promise, and one that must be honored. I also agree with the above comment that it's just as true for cats.

This campaign is greatly needed. Thanks for starting it - we need education AND enforcment for proper care of pets.

The campaign is awesome. I believe it takes strong imagery and firm message for people to take notice. This campaign does just that.

I have always been a fan of Paul Sorvino's and now that I know how he feels about dogs, I am even a bigger fan! Kudo's to Paul for his helping out with the Don't Get a Dog campaign. I think the campaign is brilliant!

Great campaign! The "in your face" tactic is great. Please consider doing one for cats as well. Southern Hope, Fulton County animal control officers and pets everywhere need the help and awareness level this campaign brings.

Fantastic job! Thank you. BeebeHumaneSociety.org

HURRAH! What a horrible and wonderful campaign. So glad to see a group not tip toe around dog abuse and put it where people can see. Though I am in MO, I am going to add your link to my websites and send it to my trainer and rescue friends - perhaps we can get a similar campaign going here. Thank you, thank you, thank you! I am also sending a donation - not much as I have a small rescue myself but I am so impressed.

Bravo!! We are behind you every step of the way and hoping we can do the same type of campaigning in our area - truer words have never been spoken--

Amazing and brilliant campaign!! This is the message we have all wanted to send, and you have given us the tools we need!! Melanie Brakeville - Siloam Springs, Arkansas

Brilliant! This is so clear and straight to the point. This is a universal issue and needs to be shared throughout the USA; however, I notice that the site is Copyright 2007. I hope you decide to change this to a Creative Commons license (http://creativecommons.org/) so that fellow animal welfare volunteers can adapt it to our areas and use it to help more animals. Either way, thanks for your efforts!

This is a great campaign that needs to be national! How can I get it started in the New York city area?

How great a campaign, how true. I wish to start something in our county as I am a ACO.

I just wanted to say thank you for this great campaign. I have downloaded your posters and plan to hang them up in the Old Fourth Ward where I have rental property and where so many people that do have dogs should never have gotten dogs in the first place.

When my husband Stan and I saw the billboards in downtown Atlanta, we were a little taken aback. After reviewing the website all we have to say to Southern Hope is BRAVO! Keep up the good work!
