Things I've learned from working at a vet clinic and animal shelters:
-You can't fix everything all at once
-There is no such thing as a "perfect" pet home
-You never know the whole story
-A person's bank account is not an indicator of how good of a pet owner they will be
-There is no such thing as a completely healthy bulldog
-People will lie to you. (It doesn't automatically make them bad people)
-People will make mistakes. (It doesn't automatically mean they shouldn't own pets)
-People really can learn from their mistakes if given the opportunity
-Many more people than you would think are able to successfully keep multiple, large dogs without a fenced yard
-People get way more defensive about their dog having fleas than almost any other aliment
-DVM's can succumb to observational bias just like anyone
-Landlords will always complain about their tenants no matter what
-I really need to take a refresher course in conversational Spanish
-You may not understand why someone feels the need to spend a couple thousand bucks to import a rare breed of dog from Eastern Europe just because they read online that the breed would "make a good jogging partner", but it really doesn't matter what you think. Not everyone needs a lecture on their decisions
-"Pit bulls" really, truly, are a popular type of pet
-There is a definite correlation between a dog's status as "outdoor only" and how likely they are to be leash trained
-There are a lot more people than you'd guess that have "outdoor only" dogs that are loved and receive regular vet care
-People in the thick of animal rescue do not give enough credit to members of the community who help animals in small ways
