So, did they check you out and find out that something wasn't good for a dog at this time? Would need more details before I can help. I used to work there under the old administration and that was a nightmare so, believe me, this new administration is way better and much improved. But remember they are humans and they do get busy and make mistakes. Dont assume the ones in charge know what is going on. :)
Finding a pet that fits your wants and needs is your responsibility, not the shelters. There are certain sizes, ages, and breeds that are in higher demand than others, and puppies are almost always in very high demand. If this is your first doggy friend, I'd like to. make a short argument in favor of getting an older dog. When we adopted Bentley (a 1 1/2 year old pug/italian greyhound mix) one of the first/best surprises was that he was already 100% housebroken. He also knew some general obedience like "sit" and " come when called" so I knew he'd pick up some cute tricks easily. Nowadays people in our neighborhood love to see him spin, play dead, and jump through hula hoops! ( Sorry. I digress, but I could talk about my dog forever! #Bentleythebestpuggit) To sum up: 1. If you have your heart set on a specific kind of dog, it is your responsibility to get out there and find them! 2. Consider adopting an older dog. Especially if it's your first. 3. My dog is adorable. 🐶
I thought it was a very nice facility and that the staff was friendly and helpful. I suspect that very young dogs are in high demand and not often available. Sorry you are having trouble. I have been to four shelters and have not found my forever dog but I'll keep looking.
Maybe no dog under a year old has come in. I imagine most dogs are older. When you were in there the other 3 times were there any dogs under 1? Did you pass the background check?
