Bless you for adopting a rescue. I volunteer at a kill shelter during the summer when we are in Michigan. Fortunately they rarely euthanize the little ones unless they are really unadoptable. It is so hard not taking them all home. I have strict instructions from my daughter that I will not become a hoarder!! HA! I try to make their days at the shelter as pleasant as possible! Sue
