In early October, the Have-A-Heart Pet Shelter (HAH) was notified by Fairview residents that five dogs had been dumped at Fairview Access to Bull Shoals Lake. It was requested that we go and pick them up to bring them to the Shelter. This was a problem on two counts: First, we are not Animal Control and don’t typically pick up dogs except for very unusual circumstances and, secondly, if you have ever been to the Shelter, you know we are always full and taking in five dogs at one time is almost always out of the question, no matter how much we’d like to help.
