The dilemma

Dalia has two dogs in a run built for one and a crate in the hallway by the mop sink. 'We can keep the promise or we can keep the doors open,' she says. 'Not both, {{NAME}}.' By the door hangs a clipboard where the front desk writes down every owner they send away. This week the pencil says 31, and it has never been typed into anything.

Your options

1. Hold the promise exactly as written. Crate them in the hallway rather than break it.
2. Close owner surrenders for two weeks and throw everything at adoptions.
3. Put down the ten longest-stay dogs. They are healthy on paper and they have been falling apart in a kennel for over a year.
