Kind of stuck up

Took an elderly relative there to look for a companion and she felt insulted being asked as to how long she expected to live, what she planed to feed, etc. It's great that they try to make sure pets and their people are a good fit, but some of their volunteers seem to be on an ego trip, insinuating that they know everything and the visitors know nothing. (I've been a dog fancier all my life.) The next morning we went to the OKC shelter to look, and a dog we were looking at through the cage door was taken out and loaded up, with about 5 other dogs, into a Pets and People van. When I told the P&P person we were interested in the dog she had just leashed up (right under our noses), she smiled smugly and said quite tartly, "well, you'll just have to come to Yukon then, and maybe you can have her." I saw her point - the little dog she took was quite adoptable, came with shots and a spay operation, and we would have to pay an additonal $50 fee for adoption, as opposed to the OKC shelter fee. I see P&P as a racket, and my opinion is NEVER AGAIN.
