I work at one of the most under funded shelters in the us. I care for the animals that have no place to call home.
Don't wanna be here? Send us removal request.

Had a cat come in today panting as hard as a dog with a fever of 109.1f which is the highest temp anyone in the room has seen. We got the temp down but there were neurological issues after. All his nails were worn down, some bloody. The Dr thinks he was stuck somewhere and overheated before he was found. He was euthanized.
I hope I can get it out of my head soon, it's eating me alive right now. My brain does this thing where it puts me in their place and suffering.

An adopted dog had to come back in because his URI was getting worse. He spent a day on site until an oxygen cage opened up for him at the hospital. He spent a few days there, made no improvement and crashed last night. He was humanely euthanized. I've been crying.
The adoptor said that we didn't care about this dog and that we just wanted him to die. Right, we spent $1000s trying to get him healthy again including sending him to one of the best vet hospitals here for further treatment.
But no, we just want dogs to die.
There's another dog in the exact same situation, just got sent to the hospital. I'm worried for him.
I'm worried for all dogs. Between the rampant pneumovirus and flu I don't need people that don't know shit tell me I don't fucking care.

Hey can I just say thank you? People like you have one of the most heartbreaking jobs, but because of you, despite everything, you make so many things better. Thank you for what you do.
I appreciate this so much. People don't know how hard this is. Thank you
