I rescued my first dog from an Austin open-door, city-run shelter - TopicsExpress



          

I rescued my first dog from an Austin open-door, city-run shelter in 1995. Back then, the shelter was so poorly staffed that anyone could walk into any kennel and introduce themselves to the caged and sometimes hyper or even aggressive dogs. Because I could enter unsupervised, I quickly learned to decipher body language from a distance and then up close and personal -– I had to learn fast or risk a bite from some very stressed-out animals. In spite of their high level of agitation, no dog bit me or even tried. Most were simply terribly frightened. Many cages housed Pit Bulls.
