I went to the city pound for the first time about seven years ago. Was VERY excited and couldn't wait. While driving to the place, I felt like a kid on Christmas morning anxiously awaiting for everyone to get up. I was in for a SHOCK!

It was one of the most disappointing experiences. Heartbreaking. I, too, wanted to take them all home. Really was a bad experience and saddening. Dont really know why I had a different expectation. Hated the way I felt when I left.

Ended up rescuing a dog that was abandoned by its owner to his mother in a small town about 25 miles away. She just couldnt take care of it and wanted the pup to have a good home. Thats what it got.
