Local law enforcement needs proof that a animal isn’t capable of cutting the
Skin off a dog in straight lines. They are also unconcerned even if a human did it, because a human being wasn’t killed.
Dear God, I cannot find the words to describe how horrific this is. And because a human wasn’t killed, meh! Well, anyone who could do such a thing is quite capable of doing most anything, in my opinion. Shame on the police.
The president of the board and her sister, the “interim director” have stepped down from the West Valley Humaine Society.

Judge denies all of PETA’s motions in the lawsuit against them by Maya’s owner. It is going to trial.
PETA’s arguments are absolutely disgusting. They propose it isn’t outlandish to steal someone’s dog and kill it. They also try to question the owner’s legal status.

“Pugh hired a certified professional trainer to be shelter supervisor. While her job is not training or assessing dogs, she is qualified to do that. ”
Is this the same person who wanted a dog to be killed because he looked at a baby funny?
MAS is still killing highly adoptable pets (kittens and puppies) while cages sit empty. I’m so glad Pugh has “plans” to improve things over the next three years, but what about the animals being killed right now?

And is it just me or does it sound like they’re dumping MORE on local rescues rather than working harder on their end to stop the killing?

It’s a good day when I see not only one article but two regarding shelters. It’s extra good when I see the number of adoptions made in one weekend.
