Restrictive shelter policies
Some years back a friend of mine went to a state run dog pound near work, and tried to adopt a dog. He found a dog he really liked, and it was the last day of the dog’s week before it was about to be put down.
He was all set to adopt the dog, but the shelter refused to let him have the dog on the grounds that he wasn’t resident in the county. The fact that he worked there in a reputable company a few doors down made no difference. The dog would have been put down if he had not got a friend who did live in the town go in and save the animal.
So it would appear that if there are rules and restrictions for adopting a pet, there should be for admitting one into the shelter. Otherwise, why take the poor animal in the first place, if you are only going to have it for a week and then kill it anyway?
