I agree 100% I had a very similar situation happen to me. The shelter is suppose to abide by a first come first serve basis- according to their website. I was there early and completed the application days prior. I selected a dog and after spending over an hour with Gizmo- I was told that another family ws there to visit the dog as well. After waiting for this family to finish their visit with the dog that I selected, I was told that they would be better suited for this pet. I was truely devasted- the staff could not offer a reasonable explaination as to why this occured. There is a staff member by the name of Claire who also fosters many of the pets she was very cold and was for some reason the decesion maker. I almost believe it was discrimination, but Im hoping that this is not the case because dogs do not respond to race they respond to love!!!!!!!!
