    Ive been doing community service there since like July and I asked how much adoption is and they said like 110 and asked who I wanted and I said her and they were like oh she wont make it to adoption so you get her shot and a heart worm test for 25 and I think on the paper work they just said it was a owner pick up idk.

    Haha ive already been obsessed for years! I think shes allergic to something like the grass or something. I dont think its her food. She keeps sneezing though and like almost coughing.. They can be allergic to cats right?

    Yeah probably then. She has this different look to her, you cant really tell in the pics but I still dont see and real traits from any other dogs.. She does have kind of droopy cheeks and chin haha.

    She could very well have contracted kennel cough. Runs rampant through the shelter systems at times. Could be allergies though as well. Ya... I had a foster that was allergic to cats. And grass. And pollen. Gaud.. the list went on and on... lol

    I read about kennel cough and it sounds like thats what it is besides the anorexia she eats her food like she hasnt been fed for weeks haha.. but shes really hyper and crazy to so idk. If she had it I would have to keep the other dogs away from her wouldnt I?

    If the other dogs have already been around her it may be too late as they could have already been exposed. It's about a ten day incubation period for bordetella I believe but it could be any number of things as kennel cough is kinda of a catch all term for the symptoms but the cause isn't always the same thing. If it's a virus, you can just let it ride, generally, but you can get antibiotics if it's bacterial. It's good to get a swab done as you can get the right antibiotic off the hop as they aren't all treated with the same thing. Wouldn't hurt to separate them though. I always do a minimum two week quarantine for any new dogs coming into the house.

    hell no it ain't a shot is nothing like a gas chamber the dog pretty much just suffocates to death not a pretty sight

    Well that's nice of them to do for her and you! And when I adopted a dog from the shelter he ha kennel cough and wasn't anorexic at all. I would take her in to get the shot and checked out at a vet. Often times shelter vets cut corners and don't do full check ups so a vet visit wouldn't hurt at this point. And euthanasia is much more humane than gas chambers it is the most humane way to go although it is Fed up that it needs to happen in the first place.

    Alright well I got an appointment for monday. Oh, I didnt know that though I thought the gas just like put them to sleep kinda.. thats messed up.. They dont even try to adopt half those dogs out the ones that make it to adoption are all assholes so no one wants them and if they do get them they end up bringing them back cause theyre destructive and da..
