Spalding is very short on their holding time. Some places only give owner surrenders a day or two, then they are put down. If they say that is their due out day, they mean it. A few dogs have been lost because the bb rescuers were not fast enough. It is horrible. The bb and rescues monitor Spalding constantly. Some beautiful dogs have been saved from Spalding, though!! Good luck. E-mail those shelters (a list can be found on Petfinder.org, look at rescues and shelters and put in the state. Make sure you are not e-mailing other kill shelters, though) I hope you can help Dag.
