Review of Spokane County Regional Animal...

They will euthanize animals with no veterinary ass...

They will euthanize animals with no veterinary assessment.
Recently rescued a 4 week old kitten from the brink of death. I have a three month old son, so I was unable to maintain treating the little guy for more than 24hrs. He made a huge improvement overnight. Tried to bring him in to SCRAPS, only to be told by an employee BEFORE I EVEN MADE IT INTO THE BUILDING that they would euthanize if I surrendered the kitten to them because his gums were a little less pink than they should be. They welcomed me in to talk more about it, and of course that employee disappeared and I was immediately handed paperwork to surrender the kitten. I asked why they would euthanize the kitten even though it's health had made such a huge turn for the best, and he was very lively, only to have a different employee very rudely say "I can have him come back and explain it to you again." No veterinary assessment, just straight to euthanasia. Good thing we have shelters that actually care. After hearing what happened, the Spokane Humane Society was able to pull some strings, make and exception to take in a stray, and already had a foster home lined up. We even got to meet the foster when we brought him in. Scraps is the worst. If you have ZERO compassion for animals, don't work with animals!
