My friend lives in a smallish town in Texas. She went to her local shelter to walk dogs with her brother, and they met a sweet pup they both really liked and wanted to adopt. The shelter took the dog's temperature and sure enough, he had a fever.
Instead of letting my friend adopt the dog, and since the shelter didn't have the vet resources to treat a sick and possibly contagious dog, they had to put him down.
Isn't that sad? I can't believe they just euthanized a well-behaved dog with an imminent chance at a home. Has anyone else had a similar experience? Please tell me this is not the norm.
