We have two HS here but we have 4 organizations that take in animals and place them in foster homes. So far it seems to be working real well. Only the very sick, or aggressive dogs are euthanized. I feel it's doing sick animals a service, they are put out of their pain. As for the aggressive dogs, no one would take a chance on one and I think it's better for the animal itself. My daughter and I foster many dogs and always find homes for them.
