You better hope your dog never ends up in this horrible place

I recently had a heart attack and had to be moved quickly to the hospital. my dog was at home and although I knew he would be safe there because I always leave plenty of food and water for him— I asked the sheriff’s office in Fauquier county Virginia where I live to take him to AWLA because my former roommate works there—Jen Katac. I expected she would take him home with her as we have been friends for 10 years. She said she would only take him to the shelter and if I was not able to pick him up in two weeks he would be for- fitted to me and put up for adoption. I knew I would be out before two weeks but I pleaded with her to bring him to the hospital as he is my service dog and he is allowed to be in a hospital room with me. She said no she was sorry I was sick but she wasn’t going to do it. Anyway I did get out and a friend brought them to me today. His fur was matted and his ears were inflamed and infected. He has a massive case of diarrhea. I had to fill his water bowl with freshwater three times because he kept trying to drink out of freshwater when we took a walk. I will report this to the board of directors and I will go higher if necessary I may take legal action to have this shelter shut down. It’s a disgrace.
