I just have something to add. This may make me sound like the bad guy but I thought the humane association was looking out for the animal. It was tough but I was quick to learn it was the money. I dropped my dog off when he was 2yrs old. He had behavioral problems and I could not afford someone to train him, so I thought since I had 2 children and it was too much for me I would find him somewhere where he would have all the attention he needed.
Well I dropped him off for $75 and called that night the girl that I talked to was very honest and nice to me. He was not doing so hot, scared, depressed and crying. I called the next day twice. I wasn't doing so hot. No change, so I said I want him back. I can not live with myself knowing he was soo sad and he probibly thought I had punished him.
So I tried to get him back over the next couple of days by trying to contact the director. No call back so I told my husband to call and get some answers on how to get him back, he was still sad.
This went on for 4 days until she finally called back yelling at me for calling sooo much and saying that I could not have him back at all. I didn't know what to do. I missed him soo much and felt so bad he was sad.
So I set up an appointment with the girl. She was so understanding, and went to see him because I had never seen where he sleeps. I took my mom for support. I hid so he wouldn't see me and my mom went to see him. He was in a concrete kennel with concrete walls so he wouldn't be scared of the other dogs. They were soo loud, I just cried. Then the girl had an idea along with my mom, my mom could adopt him. They told me to go outside and wait, I had no idea. Then every one from the place came out with him we malled each other in the parking lot. It was great but my mom was charged another $75 to get him out, and I'm sorry to the girl out there but I had to tell this story.
All they did to him was fix him. He was there for 7 days and me and my vet do not think they fixed him but the only way to tell is to open him up and I do not have the money to go that way.
Well the whole point is that they have great workers but they are money hungry jerks that run it. All they care about is the dollar and not the conditions these animals have to live in. The cats had a better area than the dogs. If they are to live out their time in this place give them more room, a homeier feel. Don't leave them scared to death on concrete. I'm sure if you asked people would donate their old lazy boy chairs for the dogs. And one more thing to all of the vets that charge places like the humane association and all the non kill shelters, you should be ashamed of yourselves. Don't you get enough money to run your multimillion scam of a job. I'm sure that medicine doesn't really cost $200 a bottle. How can you sleep at night.
