Yes, Kelly, I'm so sorry as well. Working with shelters, I've had this happen to me as well.

Re: [Felvtalk] Two kitties - names unknown - please add to CLS (non FELV)
The Humane Society in Louisville did the same thing to a wonderful little dog named Jackson. They knew I wanted him and that I was coming to get him that afternoon. One worker called to confirm and tell me Jackson was waiting. A while later another one called and told me they had killed him because he had distemper.my vets had worked with this disease and had cured it in lots of dogs. Treatment was intense and expensive but I had the ability to cope with that. Then the person who called offered to help me with another dog. Jackson had captured my heart. I had visited him at Feeders' Supply (where they take animals to encourage their adoption) three days in a row to make sure I wanted a dog. It broke my heart.

Re: [Felvtalk] Two kitties - names unknown - please add to CLS (non FELV)
Lack of communication, and people not caring about their jobs. We had a similar situation this week at the shelter where I work. A resident was missing a dog, but she saw him on Petfinder so she knew he was at the shelter. She called us on Monday to let us know that she'd be coming to pick up the dog on Tuesday, since we're closed to the public on Mondays. My idiot co-worker who answered the phone not only refused to let the woman pick up the dog on Monday, she never even bothered to let our director know that the dog would be reclaimed the next day. Needless to say, the family came to retrieve their dog at 10 am Tuesday, but the dog had been euthanized just a couple of hours before. I wasn't there on Monday, by the way, and that would NOT have happened if I had been the one to pick up that phone call. And sometimes even having a verbal committment from a rescue does no good. I'll never forget Dixie, a big longhaired tortie we had last summer. She was scheduled to be pulledbut I couldn't save her even though I insisted that rescue was coming. I'm so sorry that happened. I know how horrible it feels when you try so hard to get them out and something gets screwed up.

Re: [Felvtalk] Two kitties - names unknown - please add to CLS (non FELV)
Your grief is much fresher than mine. It is not necessary to meet an animal to love it. I am amazed that some of these shelters are so careless with the lives of sick/challenged animals. How awful for the original caretaker too. First to be put in a nursing home then to have your friends killed for no reason. On Aug 30, 2008, at 8:26 PM, Kelley Saveika wrote: I'm sorry Marylyn.
