Wareham's homeless pups will continue to be brought to the Lakeville Animal Shelter for the upcoming year.

At Tuesday's Selectmen meeting, a unanimous vote meant unwanted dogs in town will be brought to Lakeville, as has been the case for at least five years.

"Our Department of Natural Resources does a really good job of picking up animals that have been thrown away," Selectman Judith Whiteside said. "On a daily basis, there are animals being discarded and it's wrong."

The shelter charges a reasonable rate to take the dogs, Selectman Alan Slavin said, since Wareham doesn't have a proper facility for them.

"Don't buy your kids a puppy or a kitty for Christmas, go to the pound," Whiteside said.
