Hello! I love working with Animal shelters. It gives me such a great feeling!
Yes I do too because it is a place for s a place where stray, lost, abandoned or surrendered animals
It's so sad, but its important to help. Most don't get the funding that they need so they need volunteers to help out with certain things.
Yes the sad part is policy to euthanize sick animals, and any animal that is not claimed quickly enough by a previous or new owner.
That's so terrible. I wish there was another way. I've actually adopted several cats from shelters.
Czech republic, Germany, Greece, and Italy do not  permit the killing of healthy stray dogs. but over 30 others in Europe do
Maybe I should move to Germany! It seems so much friendlier to animals than here in England.
:) There is no regulation of the various shelters on a national basis in USA.
