Ladies-
As you may have guessed by my comments, I have been involved in animal rescue for many many years. It is my passion!
You are absolutely right when you say that a responsible shelter/ pound would do the vet work that I discussed (vax, spay/neuter/ HW test & treatment, etc, etc).
Private shelters and rescue groups DO routinely provide this kind fo medical care.
City run shelters and humane societies rarely have the funds for this kind of medical care :-( It is so expensive. Also, the city facilities do not have the kennel space or personnel to care for animals needing lengthy medical treatment.
Rescue groups work closely with city shelters to save those animals and provide medical care.
