| - Never ever again will I deal with Animal Foundation unless it's to save a poor defenseless animal from death.
I brought in a dog that my fiancé and I found wandering around the neighborhood. We couldn't keep him since we already had three dogs, so we decided to take him to Lied (animal foundation) shelter. I was already a wreck having to turn over this dog, but at that point had no other choice. I asked when we got there the procedure for lost pets. The guy told me they hold the animal for three days for owner claim. If the owner doesn't come, he will get a behavior analysis. If he passes he will be put up for adoption, if he doesn't pass we will try to find a rescue to take him. If no rescue wants him, then he will be put down. But if you leave your information we will call you to see if you want the dog. Ok, cool. I know my fiancé said no more dogs, but he said if it's up to another dog, or death, then I guess we shall have dog #4. The guy then have me a card with the dogs intake number, and a phone number where I could call and check on him.
Flash forward to Saturday, I call to check his status. I left a message. No call back. I called Sunday, no call back. I called Monday, no call back. I called on Wednesday, and finally after two hours I get a call back. The manager couldn't find the dog by his number. I give her my fiancés info, and she finds the dog, and tells me he was put down, because he didn't pass his medical. She stated there was something wrong with his teeth. His teeth? The intake manager told me he had a tooth disease, which is why he failed his medical exam. She claimed they reached out to several rescues, (I call bull crap) and all of them rejected him, so they had to put him down. I brought him in Thursday. I had been calling about him since Saturday. They finally called me back Wednesday. He was put down Monday. I asked her why no one bothered to call my fiancé. I said we would have taken him! She said oh someone should have called you to let you know the situation, and see if you wanted him. She told me that if we had wanted to adopt him, they would have had the medical problem fixed. She showed no remorse, no heart. This was a life, and the basic answer I got was a "we dropped the ball."
If there was a negative any stars I would leave them. They are horrible animal killers. If you find any kind of animal and you have even half a heart, do not drop them off here.
