I took my lunch break and went down to the shelter to talk to the director. He and I have been working together for almost 2 years now. I told him how appalled I was at the decision and explained to him that if Snow was put down I was going to make a great big issue about it. This shelter only euthanizes if the animal is extremely sick, terribly mean, or they are full. Well, none of the above conditions exist in Snow's case.
The director said that he was unaware of the decision and usually let the Kennel Supervisor (the mean lady) call the shots on issues like that. She was brought into the office and I explained that I was not there to get her in trouble but wanted to discuss with her and the director her decision and the factors that brought her to it. She went on and said that Snow had been there for a month. Blah Blah Blah. I have seen animals there for over 3 months. They were never put down. Then she said they couldn't afford to feed it, etc... So, I made a donation on the spot and told them that they had my number if they needed me and I would be more than happy to help out. I will be calling them daily to check up on the boy. In the mean time, I will visit him and try and find him a home or rescue group.
Keep the ideas coming.
