lemon-lyme disease posted:According to my wife, who’s worked at a humane society for more than a decade, there’s not really any such thing as a “no-kill” shelter - just ones where they don’t impose time limits on how long an adoptable animal can be up for adoption without going home with anyone. (I THINK this is what she said. I’ll have to double-check.) There are absolutely no-kill shelters, they just aren't state-run humane societies. There's one near me that specifically takes at-risk-of-euthanasia animals from shelters to take care of and rehome, even if they have big physical problems or are poorly socialized. That's their entire focus, though.

Same, PAWS Chicago (not sure if PAWS is elsewhere or not) is a no-kill shelter through and through, they specifically take in animals that are in kill shelters and are going to be euthanized, as well as a lot of other animals.

I’m actually pretty pleased to hear this is a thing though. It’s not something I really have reason to think about often so I just sort of took her word for it.

Barudak posted:If youre at the point of signing a contract, poo poo has gone tremendously south. But was it notarized?! I agree that if you get to the point of drafting/signing a contract, things have gone totally to Hell. I worked for a lawyer about ten years ago, and at a Christmas party a couple I knew were having a big argument about something. They eventually came over to me and asked me to write up a contract stipulating that if he went over X amount on hockey equipment, he had to go down on her more, but he wanted the stipulation that if she didn’t keep grooming to a landing strip or less, that would void that part. If you’re asking a drunk paralegal to draft a sex contract, there’s no saving that relationship.

Yeah, I said it wrong, I meant like the big, main area shelters? I don't really know how to say that concisely. The ones that are likely to have the highest traffic just can't handle that, it's usually an auxiliary shelter of some kind that specifically caters to that kind of thing. Animal Ark Rescue near me takes in cats and dogs no matter how ill or injured, pregnant, or ill-socialized they may be. If the lady gets pregnant and the cat still isn't dead, there really is probably somewhere they can take the cat where they'll be taken care of.

You're dropping about +$2500-3000 on a basic set of equipment, and that goes up depending on how hard the puck is being shot at you. Most of the time, rec goalie get reduced league fees and free ice time, but drat the barrier to entry is high.

My brother plays goalie in an indoor league and it boggles my mind how much money he’s spent on equipment (even before he paid a shitload for a custom painted goalie helmet). However, he never asked me to draft a weird sex contract, thankfully.

I mean I have like 75 Amiibo but at least those look like the actual character they are, and their main function is my kid pulls then down of the shelf and plays pretend with them, and most of them were bargain bin ones that weren't selling, as rewards for good behavior. And these were accumulated over the course of like three and a half years so maybe one or two a month.

no kill shelters are kind of an oxymoron because they have limited space, which means that at best they can just temporarily reduce the number of animals euthanized per their capacity and just offload all the animals that need to be killed onto regular shelters. Either way the same number of animals are gonna be getting put down yearly for lack of homes, it's just they don't individually get their hands dirty. Even if you have one with an open spot near you it just ultimately means the next person in line is gonna get turned away or they'll be unable to take in an animal on death row from a regular shelter.

Gotta start somewhere, the hope is that they will start a movement so that all shelters go that route, the no-kill shelters (at least the ones I've seen) take better care of their animals, better vet assistance and actually do training and poo poo. We adopted a dog from PAWS a few months ago and he was brought in at like 3 months old, we got him at 7 months, they had taught him basic commands, he was house broken etc etc.
