I love to visit animal shelters and play with the dogs and cats. It helps me with all my stress.
Yes we got our cat from a kill shelter they were overrun with animals. I wish all animal shelters were no-kill shelters.
I wish that too. I got my kitten from a no-kill center too. She's adorable, but a handful sometimes.
They do a lot of good. It's sad to see abandoned animals there, but often wildlife get taken there too.
Yes. A lot of good is done in the shelters.
I often thing that animal shelters should be overseen by government organizations to make sure everything is done to standard, but that does not exist here.
More regulation would help for sure. There would also be less issues due to funding.
I think some individual states try and regulate the shelters, but I'm sure it can be hard because there are so many.
There is also no larger entity to provide oversight. I'm sure a lot of stuff gets missed.
Georgia enacted a law back in 1986 but that was for the mistreatment of animals in a pet store. More laws should be enacted for shelters.
