But that policy changed yesterday. AHS released a notice that if any animal is turned into the shelter, even if the microchip reads for any rescue, they will not return the animal. They will keep the animal for the set time, or if they are full, will put it down asap. They won't let anyone know, and even if somehow we did find out, they won't release the animal to the rescue group. Because 'rescues are not owners, we will only return animals to owners.'

It's probably just a move to reduce legal hassles, and to 'get new owners to change the dogdamn chip registration'. Also probably for rescues to broaden their return policy, they might not all be so as liberal as yours.

They're probably just sick of scanning for microchips and getting 'XYZ Furbaby Rescue 12' half the time. It probably is a bit of a dick move, but state and county shelters can be full of bureaucrats and dicks. Heck, I would not be suprised if this was the part of some smartypants going all rules lawyer. I'd suggest having your rescue adoption process include mandatory microchip re-registration.

Did my first unassisted shift last saturday, worked 5 hours cleaning pens, playing with dogs and cats, feeding them, checking them for tickets and other things that may be suss.

was good, really enjoyed it. although it's sad the animals are in there (including some that have spent the majority of their life in the facility (14 months old, been there just shy of 12 months), i guess by giving them attention and cheering them up as well as making their pen look presentable, it will hopefully help find them a home.

Keep that attitude up! You may be the very thing that gets these animals new, happy homes.
