You know, I think that when someone surrenders their pet(s) to a shelter that they should pay a fee for each animal. Only a handful of shelters are kill free, most shelters give the animals a week or so b/4 they euthenize. Paying a fee to surrender the pet(s) could be used to pay for food, vet services, and other fees associated with the facility. Not to mention, prolong the life of the pet with a better chance to find a home.
