That is so ridiculous! But I'm glad you took the puppy in. Our Humane Society takes in any animal brought to us regardless of where the person lives. The only thing I can think is that they have too many animals coming in and need to restrict how many they take in. I know our intake has increased as people are losing their homes, having to move in with family, having to move out of state to find work. We are almost always filled to capacity.
