OK, this really infuriates me.  The shelter is NOT filthy.  When I asked
to volunteer there about 2 months ago, they had trouble finding a day for
me to come in that wasn't already "taken" by another volunteer.
 
You have a right to your opinion, but not to slander.  Your statements
are inaccurate and you've taken much of Charlene's post out of context
and twisted it to make your own point.
 
I'm sure mistakes have been made....I won't say that WFRS has been
perfect, but let's get a grip here.  The original point was about a
veterinarian.  This has turned into a "bash WFRS" thread.  Can we
please move it back to the point?
