Some, but not all, employees who work in animal shelters develop a hard-core/callus exterior from seeing so many sad and pathetic cases stemming from uncaring animal owners. But, there should be some preventative measures to keep something like this from happening. Why were these people's request to adopt this dog completely ignored by this agency????

Judging from the Everett Shelter's spokesperson, she certainly seemed to be COVERING FOR HER EMPLOYEES. Under the presenting evidence, this is not not not acceptable. I will be closely watching for all follow-up stories relating to this matter. I only hope they are learning from their mistakes.

You might want to re-read the FIRST SENTENCE of this article. "He came back home....." He was not in his home when this burglary took place.

Maybe it's Karma from all the years Sears practiced "Bait and Switch" techniques; not to mention their customer service, or lack thereof.
