I was so harassed and accused of owning a dead animal that I found & asked them to come get, that I hung up on the person who answered the call. She was rudest "dog catcher" I ever talked to. She actually called me back to insult me again!
She twisted everything I said, accused me of trapping cats!
She treated me like a criminal. In past years I have seen them at the front desk treat elderly people in a degrading way talking down at them. Once I watched a poor older woman get told if she can't keep the dog inside the yard she shouldn't have it, she was told that publicly, I felt bad for her. That's just how I felt this week in dealing with that dog person? No support from me and my family the employees there act like the public is beneath them.

Don't believe anything they say. If you take a cat in there, you can be guaranteed it will be euthanized. Here are three reasons they've given me when I've brought some in...& then I didn't leave them there. 1) If it has a sniffle or just looks small or underweight (to them). 2) If it's pregnant. 3) Their cat shelter is crowded...so for every new cat you bring in, they euthanize one that's already there & hasn't been adopted. AND.......you have to pay them to take the cat.

THEN...if you keep the cats, rather than let them be euthanized, the dog catcher can come by & pick them up. Even if they're licensed. Even if they're wearing collars. The Humane Society is one big joke! So much for saving unwanted, unhealthy, or abused animals.
