She came from a pound called the Tipton Pound in Brighton Tennessee. It's a hellhole. They kill almost every dog that gets dropped off there, and even more of the cats.

The rescue I work with has started working to try to reduce the euthanization rate at this particular shelter, and so far we're having a hard time keeping up with the irresponsible pet owners in the area who won't spay/neuter their pets, or drop them off there without a care in the world that they will end up dead in a few days.

Sorry to vent - it's just really frustrating.

I called yesterday to inquire about the multiple listings for lab puppies (which look purebred) on the site - only to find out we couldn't rescue them, because they had already been killed. I felt like I had been kicked in the stomach, about 12 times.
