Little bit of a rant about shelter

We where getting ready to head to town to pick up a foster dog from the shelter today but decided to go ahead and call first. I get shuffled from the manager to someone who seem to have some kind of clue as to what I'm talking about. Eventually she remember who she was talking to and them said. . . . We are going to the pumpkin festival this weekend and are going to take him with us because he is the only small dog we have and he will get adopted. He may even get adopted before the event, thanks tho. Are you kidding me Yesterday you where taking 10 minutes to thank us and tell us how happy you are we are doing this and this morning you blow us off, for what, the Money? This is the 4th time they have pulled crap like this on us.

The first time is when we went to look at a beautiful Pit Bull. This poor girl had been there her whole life ( she was 5!! ) they told us she was aggressive, would eat cats, kill dogs, harm children. I have seen aggressive dogs this wasn't her we where going to take her but they knew we had a dog so they told us no. 6 months later they have pictures of her on there facebook page playing with other dogs having a great time, we went back, she was already adopted.


The second was another pit bull that had been abused. He was super sweet went to find out more about him. Then they fed us some crap how he was going to orlando to be on some TV show so he wasn't available. We find out from a friend 2 months later that he didn't go anywhere, was put up for adoption, and adopted.

The third time was when we wanted to get our dog micro chipped. They had us write our name and number down and told us they had to have at least 20 dogs on the list before they would do the clinic. We said thats fine, so we waited, and waited, nothing. They call us the day after they have the clinic to tell us that we missed it. How is that helpful?

Now with this last dog, one thing I can say for sure is that I'm done I don't want to deal with them anymore. I'm not going to let there be a 5th time. I don't understand what they have against us They always seem to blow us off, or am I just reading to much into it?



End of rant

 

The place was pretty bad before I wouldn't even go over there. They had some shady looking volunteers, and having these kind of creepy guys staring at you could get very uncomfortable. They just recently did a revamp of staff and the facility ( it could still use work, but progress ) including a new manager. Everyone else says they love them and they where very helpful and had no issues with them. At first I figured that it was just a mistake but after 4 different times now I think it's just us

My Mom and me foster for our Animal Control and have had no issues with them, but there is a new women there who I guess is just helping them out? I really don't know, but she has taken over the show there. If there is a dog we are talking about fostering she quickly jumps in and tells the animal control officer that they need to hold on to that one for this or that reason. Which is making it impossible for us to help/foster. I would love to know who she is, she comes in and tells them what they need to do, how to decorate for the holidays, ect I know she is just trying to help but it just seems to be an uphill battle for us to help them out anymore. That's why we figured we would try the shelter but that didn't work out any better

 

Well it happened again, and it is really starting to upset me We were supposed to foster a dog at animal control if he didn't get adopted today at there adoption event. Well he didn't get adopted but they put him into foster care with someone else!

I give up
