YOU WILL SAVE LIVES!

Some people find it very difficult to go to shelters because there are so many animals in need.  It can be especially difficult to visit an open-admission shelter where animals may be euthanized.  It is easy to be critical of conditions associated with such an emotionally charged situation. 

Shelter workers strive to provide the best possible conditions for the animals in their care, but sometimes there may be real or apparent lapses.  If you are concerned please speak with the shelter staff, but also bear in mind that there may be more to the observation than meets the eye.  Please consider certain things before you complain.
