What boils my blood about kill shelters is they do NOT hesitate in killing an animal, but they make it difficult to go get it. They won't let a person out of state adopt, and now this:
Because this animal was not chosed for adoption, it has to be adopted out through the Animal League of Gaston County or a 501c3 rescue can pull the animal out. This animal can be pulled out of the shelter after 4PM the day before it's euthanize date (the day before the PTS date in the dog's name on petfinder). ALGC will require a vet reference for people not from a 501c3 rescue stating that all pets are up to date on vaccinations, are spayed or neutered and dogs are on heartworm preventative. Adopters are required to get the animal vaccinated and spayed or neutered at their expense within 2 weeks of adopting the animal or by the time the animal is six months old. We have no kennels to house the animals, so they are required to be picked up by their PTS date, else they will be killed.
You can visit the animal anytime before it's PTS/release date at Gaston County Animal Control. The shelter is open daily from 11am - 5pm and the first Sat of the month. There are directions posted on this site:
Animal Control Hours, Contact Info, & Directions. Information on the Gaston County Low Cost Spay Neuter Clinic can be found here:
Gaston Low Cost Spay/Neuter Clinic.
Please act quickly to arrange adoption for this animal, they are given very little time before they are euthanized.
Thank you for inquiring.
