I was kind of under a similar understanding, but I talked for hours to the workers at the shelter about how it works when I was there for a nose work class with my dog, and once a dog is in the system of the spca, (if they are adoptable dogs i.e. no aggressive traits, not too far gone from terminal illnesses) they will remain in spca care and/or foster care until they are adopted. Its horribly unfair for this dog to be tied up there in the sun all day. Once summer hits and the heat is up this could turn from the owners just being negligent to total abuse.
