As a long time county animal shelter volunteer, my frustration is not with the public county facility which by law has to accept all animals brought in by the public or picked up as stray by the field officers which leads to overcrowding which leads to perfectly beautiful, loving dogs being euthanized, but with the irresponsible human owners who don't bother to put any identification on their animals, don't bother to get them neutered or spayed and then dump puppies in large trash cans; or when the animal gets to be 12 or 13 and needs some medical attention drops them off in a vacant field somewhere to end up in the shelter. Something as simple as a phone number written on a collar can save lives.
