If inability to pay is the problem, bringing in a company that takes a cut means less money for everyone, while encouraging irresponsible lending. Couldn’t the council just have a payment plan?

if its like lay-away and u get the dog when u have paid, it might work, then u have the issue of care costs, so that needs to be paid as well... if it's take the dog and pay, then 99.9% are unlikely to if there's no enforcement and then how to enforce? I'd guess for the council this is the best of a bunch of shitty options.
The idea of the state euthanising a dog because its owner couldn't afford to pick it up from the pound makes me want to commit arson
Sigh. Kill shelters are bullshit.
