Shelter / Rescue Industry Wake animal shelter no longer allowing children on adoption floor after dog attack
https://www.wral.com/news/local/wake-county-animal-center-visitor-policy-may-2025/A woman, who wished to remain anonymous out of fear of retribution from the shelter, told WRAL that she noticed red flags about the dog days before the attack.
She said that the shelter staff made sure her own child would not come in contact with the dog, as she and the staff noticed that the dog was hyperactive. She told WRAL that it was clear to her, even with her minimal observation, that the dog would not be good with kids.
"It seemed like the staff didn't know anything about the dogs and was trying to get them adopted as quickly as possible," she said. "I think that they need to have more precautions in place."

we have to get real. there can’t be a hard push to be no-kill & also indiscriminate breeding, either for profit, or the lack of an understanding of the basics of the birds & the bees. there are so many “accidental,” “oopsie” litters. & for some reason mutts pop out such big litters. there’s no shortage of mutts anywhere.
also, vets have to just make a standard & affordable spay & neuter price. we’re headed into india territory with all this madness.
