Animals sit and sit and sit with few people coming in to look. Danny Boy is right, with the way they are doing things now they will need to build, build, build for more warehouses to hold animals since the ones at ASCMV, most of them sadly aren't going anywhere except to their deaths. There's more to running a shelter than housing, holding, and killing animals. And there are more than two solutions Danny Boy mentions. They aren't trying at the shelter and I could give you a book of documentation on all the issues. Advocates are working very hard, around the clock on solutions and believe me hundreds more would be coming through the doors of the ASCMV if advocates weren't doing rescue, foster, pet retention, match making and adoption, and so many other things while spending their own time and money to help.<br /><br />Animal AdvocateAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7211747217875691594.post-28021780820201551582009-08-08T09:42:47.682-06:002009-08-08T09:42:47.682-06:00I saw her on the news yesterday.

I've been there they easily hold that many dogs. And they always seem clean for the most part. <br /><br />So what is THEIR solution to the problem?....There are only 2 solutions. 1. Get a bigger facility. or 2. Kill the extra dogs.<br /><br />WHICH DO YOU WANT IT TO BE?Danny Boynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7211747217875691594.post-39802442368890010672009-08-06T06:06:14.434-06:002009-08-06T06:06:14.434-06:00You might want to cut her some slack.

But she stayed around, irregardless of the ignorant ways that everyone wanted to keep going there. This includes having staff that have no idea how to deal with animals or people and The City/ACO who want her to make less than 'true' statements in their reports.Lancenoreply@blogger.com
