Kudos to the people who put in the time and effort to take care and adopt out these pets, as well as to the folks who take them.

Nevertheless a shelter dog (cats, not so much) often comes equipped with significant behavioral issues that make long-term success in a placement a roll of the dice. There's a reason, often negative, they're on the market after all. My brother adopted an "incredibly sweet" American Pit Bull Terrier that a couple of months into its new placement ended up attacking my brother's niece. A friend back before our move to TV adopted a nondescript little mutt that was great around family but guests beware: I got a nip on the calf as soon as I turned my back on this well-behaved docile cute little critter. Fortunately my friend un-adopted his dog before it did significant damage to anyone partial to lawsuits.

I put in an application a month ago to volunteer at this shelter. I received a call from Sumter County and asked for my Soc. Num and DOB because I had to be vetted for the position. I have a stellar record, not even a ticket and I love animals. I lost my dog to congestive heart failure on 9/1. I never heard back from them.
I would have even taken one in need of extra care home for a few days out of a kennel. So much for volunteering.
