It is 3 hours difference here, and its Saturday most shelters are closed on Sundays, so the sooner I get any info would expedite anything I could do! So that you dont give up hope I once returned a dog that lived in the wild for 3 years after it was lost by someone watching the dog! It was a great reunion! The dog fit in like it was never gone....

Yes they have pictures but I had to email the manager in charge of that. I told him that Animal Control says that they take a picture of every cat or dog that they get and post it online and that it was not their office's responsibility to do this job , it was another department. I asked him then why is it that the last dog found was like 3 weeks ago? Well within like 2 hrs the website was updated with an additional 20 dogs or so! I was honest and told them if it's not your job to do this then someone is not doing their job. Supposably they have people incharge of doing just that.
Honestly I dont like going to the Humane Society here. I go in there and sometimes I get a roll of the eyes like " you again???, we dont have a yorkie still" is the response. Well I still ask to do a walkthrough. Im not bothering anyone, I just go and walk the halls and go home.
This place has had many complaints. The last one was a volunteer that called my number on the flier. She let me know that she worked at that Humane Society and too many times the dogs were not scanned. She turned in a stray she found and asked them to make sure it was scanned.
The owner showed up giving them the chip info and they told her no that there were no matches. Well her dog was sitting in the back a few hrs before someone remembered . She did get her dog back but was turned away the first time she went
I can imagine it can be stressful working in this place. And so many animals go there and get put down that I guess they get desensitized after a while. There are always good hearted people working in those places Ifeel but Isee many grumpy people when I go there too.
