I found a dog that was running on greenbush which is very busy most of the day. I brought her into our home to keep her safe. My wife and I posted her on Facebook and Craigslist trying to find the owner. Nobody claimed her, so I took her to this shelter and they told me that if nobody claims her in 5 days that she would be put up for adoption. I told them that if no one comes, I would like to adopt her. My wife emailed them and asked if she had been claimed and told them that we fell in love with her. They replied that she wasn't claimed and that she was going to be spayed and checked out by a vet. The same day she was posted online for adoption, we applied on their website (they were already closed for the day) and went in a little while after they opened the next day, just in time to see her walking out with someone else. It seems rude and inconsiderate of them to not allow the people who expressed interest in her via face to face and email to adopt her. Especially since we applied for adoption first. Our 5 year old son and her had become best friends in the time we had her here, we told him that we were going to pick her up when the shelter opened the next day and he was so excited. He had everything set up for her return...Needless to say, we are all heartbroken over the situation. On a side note, it seems like they have plenty of help, but yet everyone is standing around when their responsibilities to the animals are being neglected. I know this because there was so much feces in the kennels that there's no way they had cleaned them anytime recently.
