K, so I go in there every once in a while just to see if I fall in love with a pup.
The past few times I've been there and some people I know have been there, I haven't been impressed.
My friend was in there and there was a gorgeous Mastiff that she inquired about. It was close to closing, and all the lady said was "oh, her owners are coming to get her" and shooed her out the door. Yet that dog was still there for months later, and then just disappeared. (Keep in mind this isn't a no kill shelter)
Then, same thing when I inquired about some sort of sheltie mix. She was a wonderful dog. Again, unfortunately, close to closing, and I got told she was going to be picked up, and got shooed out the door.
They had two HUUUGE danes. They were in horrible condition. Their "nails" were so long they couldn't stand, walk, nothing.
Dogs with mange, everywhere.
I volunteered there for a while and then just kind of got fed up. The lady who actually runs the shelter is a wonderful animal lover. But the people who are working under her? Horrible people who don't know the first thing about dogs.
Is there anything I can do about this? Other than just volunteering myself and trying to give the animals the help they need?
