Whether your dealing with a kill shelter or no kill shelter... anytime you bring in a cat/dog for adoption, PLEASE make sure you understand clearly what the fate of the animal is. ie..truly no kill, animal will be put to sleep as soon as you walk out, animal will have 3 days to be adopted etc. This note is not specific to Sterling...but all shelters. Many times shelters or rescue leagues do NOT feel the original owner wants to know the fate of the animal they are giving up, so they are not upfront unless you specifically ask. (even then..some are not honest) A good point to remember is a GOOD no kill shelter is normally always full and has a waiting list especially during the spring and summer months. Sandy | |||||

Sterling asks you right up front when you bring in a pet if you want to be notified when the pet is adopted. They sent me a card in the mail about 20 days after I brought my sister's cat there. I thought that was a neat system db |
