He's so freaking adorable I would love him forever and ever. And before anyone says anything I've had a wolfdog before, so yes I know what I'd be getting into
I'm not a pet owner myself and therefore inexperienced in this but according to this website, they definitely exist. vocalforpets . org/ why-kill-shelters-exist/ (remove the spaces obv)
TL;DR it's a shelter that accepts all animals regardless of species/age/behavior/health and you can put an animal there with no previous appointment, but has the oldest/longest staying animals euthanized once it's full or once they become sick with a disease that could spread to the rest of the shelter, since it's cheaper than getting the disease treated. Kill shelters are very unfortunate but they exist mainly for stray/abandoned animals or animals with behavior problems etc.
So yeah the ex-owner's a cunt.
so it's a rescue? seems that they kill the oldest when more coming in, or when they are sick. but apparently they're there. still remains whether it was actually a kill shelter or just an animal rescue.
