Oh, Lordy, I'm sorry to say I don't trust our city animal shelter/animal control. My friends in the SPCA here tell of animal control officers selling the purebreed dogs they find to their friends; the ones who make it to the shelter, again, are steered toward ready "buyers." It's super corrupt!
Not long ago, one of the workers was indicted for stealing the fees and donations! The mismanagement was publicized by the SPCA and the humane society -- they used to staff and operate the shelter until the city took over everything in a highly suspicious manner.
That is a city service -- can you make a stink at City Hall? I'm so sorry this happened to you!!!!
