Pet Store

Walking into the animal shelter I felt like it was more like a store than shelter. The animals were crowded in cages and their expressions were full of sadness. I wanted to cry, but crying was never in my nature so I held back the tears. The cats and dogs were held in separate rooms; the cats roamed freely with their fun climbing towers, while the dogs were cramped into small cages with no companion. I thought to myself "aren't animal shelters supposed to provide love and care?.. Not neglect?". I looked at my mother and she began to sob, so instead of looking further we left that building full of disappointment.
