Rottie, another yucky statistic, our shelter (Fort Wayne has about 200,000 people)takes in over 900 animals a month. Some of them, their owners come and get, some of them are owners bring them in because they are old or sick and need them put down, but most of them are strays and only a handful are adopted out. One policy that I have a problem with, is that if the dog is a pit or pit mix, they keep it the mandatory 3 days and then put them down. It doesn't matter how sweet they are, just because of their breed, they are killed. They go by the guise that the liability is too great, but I am sure that it's because the woman who runs the place doesn't like pits and she decides which animals go down and which ones live. It just makes me sick.
