They killed our family's dog after 1 week! They don't return voicemails or answer their phone. Finally got a response in the form of a question through Facebook but it took days to get a response that doesn't get you anywhere. We called the day he got picked up and it was his first time ever getting picked up. They knew he had an owner and we told him he was current with vaccines. He just wasn't chipped or licensed yet. They say they are committed to reuniting the dog to the owner but they wanted to charge $350 to retrieve him yet they were pushing adoptions for $20. Because we couldn't afford the "ransom" they wanted, I tried to adopt him, but it was too late because after a week of him being there they killed our family dog. Maybe because he was a pitbull but he was so sweet. Now I have to lie to my kids about what happened. We searched the neighborhood for hours and put up postings on Facebook, only to lose him forever because of lack of funds? That isn't right especially when they knew he had an owner and they're dealing with overpopulation.
