Shelter policy: If you come to the shelter for assistance for medical help for your dog b/c you can't afford it (or need guidance) they will medically help your dog only if you surrender the dog to them. Not knowing what else to do dog is surrendered. Despondent they want dog back and shelter refuses. Without going into detail dog is euthanized.
My question: While I understand a shelter cannot be used as a vehicle to get free or discounted vetting b/c the vets simply would not work with the shelter when owners can circumvent the vets themselves hence the policy, has anyone come across alternatives to such strict/stringent policies??
