UPDATED (X2): Tracking the Dogs “Rescued” by HSUS from AL

Updated (X2): HSUS Rescues 44 Dogs from AL Home – Where Are They Now?
You might remember this collection of stories of the goings-on at the Lincoln Co shelter in NC. One of those stories was about Lincoln Co Animal Services accepting 10 dogs from AL earlier this month as a "favor" to HSUS: "Thousands of local animals put to death, but county accepts dogs from Alabama".

Another Oops Killing at Charlotte-Mecklenburg AC & C
In March, a NC man's two Pitbulls got out of his fenced yard through a hole and were picked up by Charlotte-Mecklenburg Animal Care and Control. He fixed the fence and tried to redeem the dogs but animal control had “mistakenly” killed them. They could not explain why.

A group of volunteers in KY has spearheaded the success of Shelby Co as a no kill community.

Lincoln Co Shelter Above the Law?
A newspaper in NC posted a series of pretty damning reports on the county shelter yesterday titled "Lincoln Co. Animal Dis-Services". It's a lot to digest but if you want a lesson in the politics of Good Ol' Boys and how the community's pets are negatively impacted by same, you should read all the stories. … Continue reading Lincoln Co Shelter Above the Law?
Less Killing, Tastes Great
You might recall the video of Susan Boyer, an employee at the Charlotte-Mecklenburg AC & C shelter, offering her view that killing pets by injection is a "morale booster" for shelter staff vs. killing them via the gas chamber. Today, I came across a different view from Tommy Morson, the AC director in Tuscumbia, AL. … Continue reading Less Killing, Tastes Great
By What Right?
What gives a taxpayer funded animal shelter the right to abuse and/or kill pets? Is it the law of Finders Keepers? "We got 'em now so we can do whatever we want to 'em"? There are laws to protect pets from abuse and killing by private citizens. Should animal shelters and their workers be exempt … Continue reading By What Right?

NC Shelter Photos: Abuse or Just Poor Judgment?
I have read numerous online statements from Charlotte-Mecklenburg AC & C employees and supporters denying there was any abuse indicated in the shameful photos posted on Facebook. "No animals were harmed" seems to be a common sentiment as well as "If this is abuse then everyone who dresses up their pets in Halloween costumes is … Continue reading NC Shelter Photos: Abuse or Just Poor Judgment?
