I went to the shelter to adopt a dog this past Sunday which was free adoption . I arrived about 5PM and was told that I couldn't adopt because of a shortage of staff. They didn't close until 7pm but there was many people ahead of me to adopt and it has been cut off today. I then asked if I come Monday could I still take advantage of the free adoption. I was told that I'd have to pay. I said that sucks and left disappointed. I was with my sister who just got released from a nursing home and just needed a companion dog. She is on a limited budget and still in the need for a companion dog. We will look at another opportunity in another animal shelter.
