We have one in our area that I thought was a wonderful until my dtr's fiance started working there and I got to visit. He lasted one week and quit because of the treatment (or lack of) of the animals. This shelter, for whatever reasons, relied on donation, only. No gov't monies. Therefore, there wasn't enough money for a vet or decent food. Or anything else. Many of the dogs were laying in blood from open sores, vomit, feces until their cages were cleaned. But they weren't medically treated so the cycle never stopped. They were flearidden. They were fed expired and discarded dog food. They had no socialization. No human contact except whoever was cleaning the cages. But because nobody lasts long there, they are constantly understaffed which means even less attention to the animals. It made me sick - I went home and cried. I never dreamt a no-kill shelter would be worse than being pts for an animal.
