Kill shelters

[Ree'sKujo]

Like I said my shelter was going to put Kujo down after 4wks. simply because he's an Akita.I guess that consitutes it as a bad shelter.

The kill shelter I adopted Buddy from kept him for 3 weeks after finding him after he had been dumped off in the woods, even though he was so deathly terrified of everything and everyone that he wouldn't even look anyone in the eye. All he would do was cower in the corner of his room. He was so terrified that they couldn't put him in a cage near the other dogs because he was so afraid of the other dogs when they would bark!!
They turned a small office into his own little room. There was one man at the shelter that Buddy grew to trust. He was the only person Buddy would let leash him, or pet him.
I think that qualifies as a good kill shelter.

I agree, someone has to do it, saddly.

I LOVED the no-kill shelter I worked at... There was NO such thing as a dog locked up in a little cage all day every day. . The shelter made nice sized kennels inside & NICE fenced in kennels, dog houses & tie outs. The dogs were outside all day long. The small dogs & puppies ran free in the dog kennel building (which was a huge area to run about), as they were too small for the heat or cold. The cats even got to go outside kinda. They built this HUGE outdoor room. They put chairs, couches, shoes, clothing, tables in the room & put as many cats in ther that got along every other day (every cat deserved time in the outdoor room).

The dogs had many walks throughout the day & if someone wanted to cuddle one, there was a spare run, you could hangout in with that dog.
