Animal shelters euthanize animals when no one adopts them. According to Joyce, the narrator of this segment, 26,000 dogs a year are picked up by Albuquerque Animal Services. To help find homes for the unwanted pets, Joyce, who is also a photographer, takes pictures of the dogs and posts the pictures on the Internet. She hopes when people see the dogs on the Internet they have an added incentive to come to the shelter to take them home. In this video segment from WILD TV, learn more about Joyce and her efforts to find homes for unwanted pets in Albuquerque. For more about animal shelters, see video segment "Animal Shelter".
