Posted on: When owners bark or bite

For all those who have made comments here, I would like to ask who has actually volunteered to work at the shelter to try to make a difference? Or of any of the people who have made a comment and have taken a seat at Lost and Found for even just an hour or two and watched people come in droves to dump their dogs knowing that most will never leave? Yes I agree that the shelter has issues. Im sorry that the woman lost her cat but as a rescue owner that takes dogs on their last day, people rarely come to look for their "beloved" pets. The story depicted one persons tragedy. Perhaps it should be noted of the animals the shelter finds, what percentage of people who even bother to come and look.
I lost one of my rescue dogs when he got out and the dog was at the shelter at the end of the day. I had animal control calling me as soon as he got there and the next day to make sure that I would reclaim him.
If the public wants less animals at Lied then perhaps they need to stop breeding them in the first place. If you dont like how the shelter is run, then do something about it. And just to let you know, when I get dogs on their last day, they were there alot longer than 3 days waiting for their owner to come forward but they never do show up.
