I definately think you did what was best for your buns Kelly. In fact, your story made me cry. That is truly pure love. You made a selfless act for their happiness. I don't think anyone could look down on you for that.

I agree with your other opinions about giving animals up because the shelters I work at are AWESOME too. However, its when they are dumped at less comfortable shelters that it gets really bad

I've never been rude to anyone dropping an animal off at my shelter, even if I disagree with their reasons and think they are irresponsible. I just don't want to discourage them from bringing another animal in to us if (heaven forbid) a situation should ever come up with them again. But trust me, in my mind I am cussing them out! (if they don't have a REALLY good reason for dumping their babies).
