I am terribly concerned about how the shelter is being ran. I don’t live in your area but have net worked the
animals at the shelter for years. It is becoming increasingly a very poorly managed shelter. For instance 4 to 5
LARGE dogs in one cell, dogs attacking each other over food, and illness spreading like crazy. It has been my
understanding that SBC was given $ 185,000. to help manage the extra dogs being brought in. Where has it
gone? Extra cages have NOT been put together yet. These animals are being treated very inhumanly. Staff
does not have training on how to help these animals other than order them killed. It is also my understanding that
that staff are the one’s murdering these animals. Not a vet. Infact there is no vet available. How oversees this
shelter? How many of the City Council have gone and actually seen this shelter and how VERY poorly it is ran?
I am so disgusted with what’s going on my next step is to contact the state and file a complaint. People your
obligation is to make sure the people’s tax dollars are being spent correctly and not just on unjustified salaries.
Thank you for your time and I do hope you take action and make this a better shelter.
