Rhea got home from work yesterday to find Buddy (that's what we named him) sitting by our front door. He came to her and let her pick him up. I got home and we headed to the Human Society.
Once we got him there we found out that they aren't exactly a no-kill shelter. Apparently there is no such thing as a no-kill shelter. They just don't do it on site. They send the animals off to another location to have them put down. Even places like Operation Kindness aren't no-kill. They can just say that because they don't actually do the killing themselves. How convenient.
Once we found that out, we really didn't want to leave him. But, we live in a one bedroom apartment. We just don't have the room. So, we gave them our phone numbers in case they determine he's not adoptable or something. Pretty much if they're going to put him to sleep, we want to be called so we can adopt him.
Hopefully he will be adopted by a good family or lonely single guy. I just don't think it's right for him to be put down just because they don't think he's adoption material.
I know you can't save every animal, but I would think they would try a little harder. The girls that worked there seemed pretty flippant about the whole thing. I'm going to call tomorrow and check on him.
