Honestly, that's a horrible system if not, I know my shelter does this. I can't suggest much but you could possibly go to the police with this and get results.
That is what baffles me, Harpo was also taken to the animal shelter, we found out on the same exact day, but in a totally different town, and they looked in in the lost/found section on craigslist. The other town, where Gabbie was, didn't.
