I visit animals shelter fairly often, it's somewhat heartbreaking.
I agree, I hate to see stray, lost, abandoned or surrendered animals suffer.
I wish all those animals could be adopted by loving people.
Me too, especially those with policy to euthanize sick animals. They deserve a home as well.
I make sure I only visit non-kill shelters because I wouldn't be able to handle it otherwise.
 In the United States there is no government-run organization that provides oversight or regulation of the various shelters, which is really sad when you think about it.
Yes, I wish there was some oversight by the government but for the most part I think the people who run them have a good heart.
I agree, many individual states do regulate shelters within their jurisdiction. so at least that helps to some extent.
That's good to know.  I also like to donate to those shelters.
A few shelters have tropical animals. so consider donating to such shelters!
