I dont support my local shelters...they wont take anything in except some dogs, all cats, and some rabbits the vets wont even let me take in my ball pythons they say they are too big??? ummmm my snake that i brought in was only 2 feet? lol plus they tell me in not allowed to raise and rehab squirrels and rabbits without a liscense even with the help of an actual rehaber they also told me i should keep my cat indoors because she might die but my cat gets stressed out from being inside and she always comes back they also give me crap from buying my pets from breeders....actually 4 ball pythons my cat 2 dogs and 2 birds were rescues plus lol they give me more crap for not having my dog fixed or my ferret fixed the shelters say keep your pets inside at all times they can get parasites and die now does that sound like nice people that you like to adopt from???
