Yes, leaving aside the irony and sarcasm in my last post (glad it gave you a laugh though), I think writing to someone official might be wise. I would actually call and try to talk to the person who makes those decisions, and then ask for that person's address so that the letter doesn't get intercepted by the same ill-informed person who sent the first letter.

That doesn't necessarily matter of course. In America there is no need to prove merit before suing, so they *could* sue you no matter how foolish the case, though it seems incredibly unlikely that any lawyer for the shelter would bother.
