Commonly known as "pounds". Most Council Dog Warden strays are put in this type of kennel facility. My Staffy/Collie was in the "pound" in Wakefield and was on her last day (7th day) and ready to be euthanised. West Yorkshire Dog Rescue stepped in. They don't have kennels, but instead have fosterers who will have the dog until a home is found regardless of length of time.

I wasn't aiming to write definitions. I'm talking about "them places where stray or unwanted dogs are taken for someone to decide what will become of them", if you like.





Indeed, I saw a recent programme about just that (Louis Theroux in LA) and there was pretty much a production line of dogs for destruction. The staff he spoke to had lengthy experience of the way it is, yet still shed a tear for the euthanased dogs, they never really got used to it. But they have such a predictable influx of new dogs, they know how many have to go per week to accommodate the newcomers.

Yawn. You used a totally unsubstantited & unprovable claim to support your position. That you don't like being called out on this is your problem.



Good to see you still haven't substantiated your claim. Yawn.



Is it an observation or a claim that thousands of dogs are destroyed because there is no room for them? Any verifiable stats to back this up?



Thinking of getting a dog, where to go?

Your silly trolling has sunk to plumb new depths. Bored with it now.





Maybe explore new depths with a long swim in the Everglades?

Pity the poor dog
