    Rottie and weimaraner at our local nasty shelter

    Tomorrow I am going to look at 2 dogs at our local 95% kill shelter, it is a nasty place. They have a year and a half old female rottie and a 2 year old weimaraner on petfinder. I am going to try to pull them for the humane society. I don't know how it will go or if I can get them to take them, but i am going to go and se if they are still there and see what I can do. If anyone is interested, please let me know. I punched in any breed of large female dogs in the 37072 zip. They look like nice dogs. Julie

    Talked to the shelter yesterday. Weimer's been adopted. They will in  no way think of giving  up the rottie to go to a shelter. ANd my shelter only deals directly with their local pound to pull animals. I asked how long she had, and he said "oh her time's not near up". I said your website says the dogs have "days" Again the same reply. I said "how long does she have" His replyy, oh she has a good while. She's really good tempered and obedient. ***!  I went by to see her today thinking $55 not bad to get her into my shelter where it's clean, they have heated floors, they go for walks. Although when I talked to my shelter they said be very careful of her temperment or they won't take her. It is a rottie and they already don't take pits or ambulls.

     Anyway, guess what? The shelter where she's at is closed. They are open 18 hours a week, mon wed and fri for 6 hours each. they said the "officers" have to make so many calls they can't be open more. Funny, when I called about 2 dogs on my road, they said they don't come out for that. A pit bull running loose form the neighbors and a dog who seriously tried to bite you when you go by. What calls are these guys making?

    I am seriously thinking making my time off work's project trying to have this place overhauled. it is a new place, and just the most shameful shelter/pound whatever I have ever been in. There is someone over them and someone else who has a voice int eh local government who doesn't know what is going on there, or better said, what ISN'T going on there.
