We don't have a Humane Society here. The police come and get them and take them to this really crappy make-shift shelter (unless they're vicious). At least it's a no-kill shelter, but I've seen some nasty things out there. A lot of their animals are sick, they don't give them shots or neuter.......they adopt dogs at 10.00 ea. cats at 5.00. If it's a full bred dog they get 25.00. And that's all her money, cause she gets the food donated from the local Walmart. As far as the veterinary, you're on your own. I've been talking to several rescue agencies around here, and they have been trying for years to get a real Humane Society in this county. Some of these rescue people claim to have seen dogs feeding on dead cats and puppies, etc. I've only been there once when I was looking for a kitten, but all their cats looked sick so I went elsewhere. I did take a look in their kennel and it was pretty nasty. Plus they also had a lot of dogs and all the cats just running loose.
Story is the people who started the hospital and some other things (name Bartlett) were rich and they left a bunch of money in trust to start a shelter, but the county commission and other officials are pretty mum about it. No one seems to know what happened to the money and it ticks me off. One of the reasons why Creek Co. is sometimes to referred to as Crook Co.......crooked politicians!
I'm waiting for the police to get here now, and I'm feeling pretty sad. I've been out to give them treats. I'm so afraid the timid mother will try to attack them when they try to catch her. The young male is pretty friendly so I doubt he'll be a problem.
