A solid rescue reached out today telling me they’re considering pulling this dog from North. However, it is a question of finances and pledges… Because the dog is living in the back… I’ve never met the dog personally. Nor do I know anything about the dog as there are no notes in the system that I can see. I’m just relaying a message about a dog from a legit rescue that’s at a shelter I volunteer at. Obviously, if you have questions about the dog in particular, you are welcome to try to reach the shelter and talk to a staff member.

These are some of the available dogs that are living back there in the inside kennels that the public and volunteers can not see. If you are interested in more information… ask. If a dog has been surrendered by owner, it is available instantly, as no one is coming to find the dog. I cannot promise you the last walk dates are or anything listed is accurate. I am fairly certain Babs has been out more recently than stated.

Check out some of the dogs in the inside kennels, out of view of public and volunteers (without permission and/or a staff chaperone). By posting I am not endorsing or giving histories. Many of them I have never laid eyes upon. Many do not have any notes at all. Some I have only just learned about. NOTE: Owner surrender dogs are almost always immediately available for adoption, unless a chip comes back to someone else. I an simply attempting to create more interest in some of our available dogs. For specific information contact a staff member. Dogs that are in the back, and available, can typically be viewable by request at the shelter.

Pt2. These are some of the dogs in the back…If you’re going into the shelter this weekend to meet dogs… They are located in the internal kennels, which are not accessible to the public (and volunteers may only go there with permission and/or escort). I understand why they’re in the back… no external space, major, medical, or high, FAS… I just wish that rescues and the public could see them easier, and the volunteers could work with them without so many hoops... Some dogs have notes others do not. Some are able to be taken out by volunteers with permission, and or an escort... Others are not. In my personal opinion, the important thing is, getting dog that are available for adoption, foster, or rescue seen and exercised.

There are several more dogs in the back that are available… Some I have met. Some have medical issues. Some have behavioral issues. Some will be available tomorrow and the next day. But I meant to post these two in the original post, prior. If you’re interested in meeting any dogs that’s located in the back… Go to receiving and ask a staff member to show the dog. I completely understand that we are so full. We need to use every kennel… I just think that while that is the case volunteers and public should be able to see all available dogs as well as all lost dogs so people can find their own dogs.

I honestly don’t know how it’s going to get worse than this… Question: What’s worse than surrendering a 15-year-old dog because of medical /cost reasons? Answer: Surrendering, a 12-year-old along with the 15-year-old because they are bonded. These two dogs are located in the back, out of public view. I am not certain if I can walk them or not. Perhaps I will ask next time I’m in. I’m not sure who’s taking these dogs… It’s not hard enough to get 1 dog out, but now two bonded old dogs… what is wrong with people that they can’t let a dog die peacefully and it’s on home… Whether by visiting vet or naturally… or at least, in the arms of the owner, that the dog knew for its entire life?
