Are you absolutely sure they auction puppies to the highest bidder? I know
that my friend called about a pug that was at Downey shelter and they told
her they had a lot of interest and that they were having a drawing.
Sorry you didn't get one of the pups, if you want to drive to Oxnard you can
have my Archie [he's being a pill today]  |

I'm sure it's not a drawing. It really is an auction and whoever the highest bidder is gets one of the yorkie or maltese puppies they had. I was surprised and thought that maybe they meant a drawing so I asked again and they explained the pups will go home with the highest bidder.
Maybe I'm over-reacting and shelters do this all the time. I was just so surprised to hear when they said, "You can come back on the 20th and place a bid on one of the puppies." It's the first time I've ever heard a shelter do this so...... I don't know....
Thanks for offering Archie, if he's really being rowdy send him my way!!
