Conan Update Sat. 1:30 EST

Just got off the phone with the shelter after being on hold for half an
hour.

Suzette answered the telephone and was a complete ass.
What I was hoping for was a shelter worker who would let anyone who was
interested in Conan know that his adoption fee would be paid for them. This
girl could just not get her pointy little head around this, so I asked for
Katherine, the shelter manager. She transferred me to Katherine's voicemail.
I left a message that I want to both pay for Conan's adoption fee and that
she should call me. Whether or not she will, I have no idea.

Suzette's idea of "helping": "We don't do things over the telephone. Don't
you know somebody who can come down here?" This after I told her I was
calling from NC.

I wonder if their donors and/or supporting county, state, and federal
funding agencies know how easily they turn down donations, or how hard it is
to GIVE them money?

I may be wrong, but my guess is that Katherine, who was not at all helpful
yesterday, heard the story and just said "give her my voice mail." I hope I
am wrong.
