Hardin County is my "home" county and where my parents still live.
And its exactly what it says it is - a dog pound.
They haven't established a building yet for their Humane Society as far as I know so that's why the dogs aren't 'fixed' and vetted. B/c its a holding place for them before they PTS.
The humane society in my county (ran by a NUTBALL but nonetheless) (Wyandot) has a HOPE clinic where the dogs are spayed for like $30 or $40. Not for certain on that price but I know that when I took Kloe (cat) to there to get her spayed it was $25. I don't have the extra money or space in my hometo pull these dogs and get them "fixed" and then transport them to you - but if there is anything I can try to do let me know - I'd be willing to pull one or 2 of them altho I'm not sure I'd be able to afford the $120 right now. But I'd figger something out.

Thank you,

That is really sweet of you to offer. It is strange to me that the group that pulls dogs from that AC doesn't utilize the low cost spay/neuter clinic there. From the website, it sounds like there are no income limits for the low cost one, only the no-cost one. It would definitely make the animals more attractive to the out-of-state rescues and ultimately save more dogs. Most of us would pay the cost of the spay/neuter and vaccinations at a low cost clinic, if they would arrange to house the dog until we could get them on the weekends....

Anyway, thanks so much for the offer. I don't think we will be working with Hardin Co. Pound anymore, which is really a shame since all the dogs that came from there were so sweet and all got adopted quickly. I really feel sorry for those black lab mixes - you guys seem to have so many there and they rarely get adopted. The city shelter here sent a black lab mix to the SPCA and it got adopted within 2 days. Three of the four we took were black lab mixes and we must have had at least 20 applications on them.

Anyway, if you see a dog at the pound that needs rescued and have people willing to help with arranging low cost vetting, and holding for a few days until we can get there - let me know. We would be happy to send money for vetting ahead of time.
