So from this one experience did you stop going to other shelters to see if you could adopt, or go back once in awhile to see if the shelter changed its policies, or did you let this one time turn you off forever and assume all shelters were the same as this one?
Humane society turned me down so I went to animal control and got my beautiful German shephard beau.

I have always given my dogs rabies shots and nothing else...I would like this dog but will only give rabies vaccinations....they must have liked my answers cause I got the dog...One of their rules was also to visit the home etc...My dogs foster mother brought the dog to a large parking lot near my home and I took my own dog with me...I had told them I had to see if the dogs were compatible before I would even consider adopting one...She must have liked me and my dog, cause I got the rescue right there. I invited her to my home, unfenced on 4 1/2 acres but always let me dogs out on a long chain to do their business..
I had her for 20 months before she had to be put down due to spontaneous fracture of front leg due to large bone cancer...The leg broke while she was running to the door to be let out...the scream was horrible and she was too old to survive chemo and then would have to have the front leg amputated..It was a hard decision cause I figured I'd be bringing her home after the break was set...lovely dog, but she and my dog just ignored each other unless we went for a walk together.... We did email back and forth before she brought the dog. I also emailed her to keep her up on Teesha's life about once a week...
