Horrible if I could give zero stars I would. These people have zero compassion for animals it's all about preying on your vulnerability in order to extort $$$ from you. I found a young Chihuahua in the road hit by a car late one night and brought the dog in horrified to find out they would not care for the animal without a deposit of $2000. I didn't have the $$ to donate to the cause, but if they came up with a realistic number I would have helped the poor little guy. Despite my explaining how I found the dog in the street they were convinced he was my dog. How mortifying to be judged. I have 3 dogs they all see a local vet and they're each chipped and on monthly medication. An easy phone call the next day would confirm that. Anyway they told me to call animal control. They picked the dog up at my house that night and later on he was euthanized. I wonder if he received immediate help from some compassionate people he may have survived and found a home or found his way back home to his owners. It's just sad they would rather decide not to help a patient in need. I can't imagine all the neglect all the other stories of turning pets away because of a financial issue or because they simply don't want to be bothered with a case. People with zero understanding of ethics and zero compassion should not be making life or death decisions for anyone animal or human.
