Dan, I wanted to pass along this, just in case it might apply in your case: At our shelter, when someone inquires about a lost cat, they go on a list. There are *so many* different volunteers, and they're so busy down there, it really helps when the owner checks with them every single day. *It's just a madhouse down there; your shelter may be much better organized with better communication. I know you and Nancy are frantic. I hope he appears at the door, soon. Sherry *snipped A friend of mine recently learned that her beloved dog (which ran out the door when a housekeeper came in) was euthanized, despite numerous phone calls. snipped MaryL This has happens, more often than we probably know. Overcrowding, inexperienced volunteers, and breakdown in communication. I don't remember any dogs being euthanized, but I *do* remember a case where a dog was adopted to a new family; the owner discovered the dog and claimed she had repeatedly called the shelter. Except she would ask for a "Collie" when she called; this dog was a blue-merle Collie mix and looked really more like an Australian Sheepdog mix. So the person answering the phone would say "No, we don't have any Collies" Sherry |
