[quote=Anonymous]Which shelter is this, OP? Your post had several comments that clearly turned people (including me) off, including the fact that you aren't a big enough person to cool your jets so your dog doesn't have to suffer another night at a shelter. Yes, he's "safe," but he's in there with barking dogs and probably scared. So you have that on your conscience. But whatever, I guess.

If what you are saying is correct, I actually agree with you that it could be a hardship turned tragedy should a family lose its beloved dog and the dog wind up in a shelter, basically held hostage until they came up with a rather stiff bit of money. I'd be completely shocked to learn that there isn't more to the story here or this whole thing isn't made up. I can't imagine a shelter would actually refuse an animal to its owner if the owner pled true financial distress. I was a cat owner for many years and although she was strictly an indoor cat, she did get out once. Fortunately, I found her right away, but if she'd have gotten taken by a shelter with such a policy I don't know that I could have come up with 200 bucks in such a short period of time. She was my beloved pet, though, and I would not have slept until I'd have figured out a way to get her back. At the least, I would have been at the shelter, bawling my eyes out, begging for my animal in person.

There is something about this whole post that seems fishy to me. I don't think I believe you. [/quote]
