you're not wrong! like most other places, their shelters are super overrun with strays and i know there are some shelters that do open adoption days in the city center where they bring adoptable animals for people to see, play with, etc so there's definitely opportunity for that there. i think most are located outside of the m30 (the highway that's kind of like...a marker for the inner city area) just because there's more space the farther out from the city you get
