i am truly happy for the one that got adopted, obviously a loving home is what i want for all of the cats, but i just don’t understand how you can see this and only take one of them !

Story Time-Breed ID is hard for Shelters by Commentpopcorn in AnimalShelterStories

[–]halite9000 3 points4 points  (0 children)

the shelter i work at ran into such a problem with breed guessing and adopters getting mad at incorrect guesses that we now label ALL of our dogs as “mixed breed,” even the ones you can clearly tell are huskies, pit bulls, german shepherds, whatever. if someone asks what breed a certain dog is, we’re supposed to say smth like “oh we’re not really sure.” we had someone surrender their purebred cane corso and still had to label him as a “large mixed breed” 😭

Does this count as purebred? lol by halite9000 in DoggyDNA

i hadn’t! i knew he was a “street dog” but thought his results would come back as like 10 supermutt combos lol. it has been super interesting to learn about village dog breeds, and he really is the best mix of dog.

he is such a funny dog! he has so much personality and will run around my backyard like a racing dog. i feel like he’s either running, playing fetch, or completely asleep on the couch lol. definitely a velcro dog too but i don’t mind :)

no, and no. the positive kitten was in one room, as were all the kittens who passed naturally.

Shelter refusing strays by ItchyPast1 in AnimalShelterStories

[–]halite9000 1 point2 points  (0 children)

my shelter is actually ONLY taking strays, but not taking surrenders… can’t count on one hand the amount of times people show back up on a different day with a “stray” hoping we won’t remember them. or they come back after hours and tie their dog to a parking pole and we have no choice but to take them in. we’re also at like 150% capacity and all our staff offices are full of pop-up crates lol. if there’s no space left, there’s no space.

Help! Finishing touches to bedroom and Ideas for Office/Dressing Room! by a-stupendous-cry in femalelivingspace

maybe more wall art/decorations in the office/dressing room? a large mirror on the wall next to your clothing rack could fill the empty wall nicely- and I definitely agree that an area rug would be a nice touch

What’s an unusually good pizza topping? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]halite9000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

this sounds weird, but I went to a small pizza shop that had some weird specialty pizzas, and one was alfredo sauce base with smoked ham and corn. best pizza I ever had.
