I'm real familiar with the practices of the shelters here in Sacramento but I know for a fact that in Los Angeles they don't think twice to put a pet to sleep. It's awful. I'm glad I don't live there anymore.
Since I have only been living here for the past four years, I am still getting familiar with what the practices are. I have a friend who works with a program called C.A.T.S., Cats About Town Society. They take in cats to their homes during the week and on the weekends bring them to the society for adoption. If a cat doesn't get adopted, they choose who they go home with again until the following week. This process is repeated on a regular basis until the cats are all adopted. It takes a while for some of them because they are older cats and most adopters want kittens. I have volunteered there a couple of times with my friend and you get to see how wonderful these cats are.
However, I now own a Dachshund. She's a mid-size, not a full grown long one.
I recently read news about a major overhaul in Mississippi that over 100 dogs and cats were rescued and it nearly broke my heart. I want to get more active and protect every animal out there.
