Review of CHA Animal Shelter

Ok, first we got a beagle their and she is great. Now we were trying to get a new dog because the beagle we had was very lonely and was mourning the death of our terrier mix. But when we came to get a new dog it did not go as planned. We saw the dog on the cha animal shelter website and we said ok let s go get him. So we went and played with the dog in the room for a little bit. We fell in love with this dog it was so beautiful and playful. But we wanted to foster to adopt but they wanted us to bring in our beagle for a meat and greet. We asked if they could hold the dog for us but they could not do that. Another family was also looking at this dog. I don t understand why they would need us to bring in the dog. I do understand that the dog should meet but we did not want to go back home about a 15 minute drive to than another 15 minute drive back. Anyone could get this dog If they wanted to while we were gone they said. So we were about to leave and my grandma was the one buying the dog and she has a cane and doesn t look like she can walk that well. The guy said at the front desk I think with your physical ability you will not be able to care for this dog so you can not have it... that made her very upset because we were out the door ready to have this dog. Obviously my grandma started to tell the guy at the front desk that she has 3 grand children that could walk the dog and she could feed the dog. Yes she has 3 grandchildren that could have walked this dog but the man at the front desk decided himself that she could not handle a dog not even personally knowing her. And she was too old and couldn t do it. Or she can t walk good enough to own a dog. So we left very upset and we got in the car than left... We will never ever in any of our lives return to this shelter. And I will make sure that if anyone is trying to get a dog you can be too old to get one. Or if you have a problem you can t get a dog here. I really thought this shelter was good. I really did until this one incident.instead of caring for the people that come in to adopt a dog they discriminate. This Shelter is full of discrimination and I can t stand it. Please don t go here if you don t want to get told that your not good enough. Thank you
