They need to upgrade the way they provide vouchers. Like a way to sign up online maybe, and mail the vouchers to specific addresses. A per family limit. The system in place is horrible. Now we have 7 puppies running around from dogs we've rescued, and tried endlessly to obtain vouchers through their "just keep calling" system. Just great! Not all of us have time to spend, hour after hour trying to call!

We could never adopt out all the Animals we take in so yes, we send many to our trusted rescue partners. We will not let a sick or severely injured animal suffer so yes we humanely euthanize them. Sadly some animals have such an aggressive temperament that they too must be euthanize because they cannot be trusted with humans and other animals. We do not euthanize for space.

There are a variety of ages of dogs for adoption. Consider those sweet 1yr and 2yr old pups that need a new home when you go in. Rescue dogs are often the best dogs.

I would recommend a visit, daily and see for your self. You may just be the lucky person who is standing there when your newest family member walks in and get to take him/her home before someone else claims your desire as theirs. Good fortune in your search.

Does,the animal shelter charge you to drop animals off there?

Helen Williams | Nov 3, 2018
Elizabeth Becker | Nov 3, 2018

Not certain, a small fee can sometimes be requested from shelters, $10, $15, but that's better than the alternative which is to abandon the pet like so many people do today. Give them a call. They will work with you. If u can't pay, then tell them, just do what's best for the animal. Please!
