- In San Diego we have both the Humane Society (a private organization) and
- the city (or is it county) run Animal Control Shelter. Perhaps your city
- has the same thing. I have never tried to adopt an animal from the city
- shelter but I can't imagine them putting you through the third degree.
- They don't even make people sign their animals in. They have various
- size cages out front so the cowards can just drive up, drop the animal(s)
- off and drive away. It is a heart wrenching place to visit. The attendant
- told my friend and I that they put the kitties to sleep 3 days after they
- receive them. These are deserving kitties too!

- Just a thought...
