I don't even want to know what they do with the hunting breeds there.
They won’t let you have a dog for hunting, only “companionship.” They all ask why you want the dog on your application. I know this all sounds strange but people who have adopted pets in places like CA and NJ know what I’m talking about.

Sounds more like an animal rescue group than a public animal shelter, many of them have weird criteria to adopt their animals. One told us that we couldn't adopt a cat because we would allow them to be indoor/outdoor which they don't approve of so we went elswhere.

If you've ever volunteered with a shelter or rescue, you'd grow to understand it.
It's amazing what people will openly admit they intend to do with the dog.
Use it in a car tow lot as a guard dog overnight. Give it to their girlfriend for valentines day, although she has not expressed the desire for a dog. Give it to their dad who lives alone and has beginning dementia and some depression and they think this will cheer him right up, and no he hasn't expressed any interest in having a dog. They want a tiny little quiet dog because their landlord doesn't allow pets so they'll have to do it on the sly.
You hear one woman whisper to another, on trying to adopt a french bulldog, "that dog can be sold for $3,000, easy".
And on and on. And you hope when it doesn't work out, at the very least they'll take the time to bring the dog back to the shelter and not just dump it somewhere in the country because they don't want it "going to a kill shelter".
Yes, I've volunteered my fair share of shifts and heard the most discouraging things.

Except this shelter has nothing to do with what you described and is specifically targeting NRA members and folks that won’t hop on the gun control bandwagon that Dems want everyone one. Sounds like quite the discrimination with their virtue signaling.
