County Shelter

Called a shelter, the filthy clinic at the end of the long driveway is nothing more than a simple pound. The dogs are left in cages for days at a time with no interaction human or dog, and they have gone stir-crazy, rather taken to barking at all who pass. It has gotten so bad that even staff prefer not to bother with them, and only a few people care to toss some kibble their way. Those who do, however, are dedicated to the animals, feeling a special calling to them. They try to make these dogs' lives easier, taking them out and walking them whenever there is time, but there are too many animals and not enough families willing to take them in.
