We get attached to the animals too - especially the long term residents that get over-looked time and time again because they're not a cute fluffy puppy. I'm the first to admit I've cried when we rehome animals who we thought would never leave the shelter. Ultimately we want all our animals to find a family of their own but whilst they're with us, they're all a part of our family, and loved just as much as our pets at home.
As for charity status - who knows!! We'll just keep going as we are... One day we'll be registered :D
We're having to build another 25 temporary emergency kennels to try to cope with the number of animals coming in on a weekly basis. We're in the process of trying to get a quote for the materials (although ideally we'd like as much donated as possible as we only have a very small amount of money to spend).
Please don't be sad for the ones at the shelter - they're the lucky ones. It's the ones that are still on the street that we can't take in because we don't have space that need sympathy. And we can't help them until we have more space.
Thank you to everyone for your kind words!!
