Pat Claerbout allegedly blacklists rescues who question killing at any pound she runs. She is also accused of killing pets rescuers want to save in retaliation for asking questions. Ms. Claerbout is currently in charge of the Stockton pound in CA, which came to my attention on Saturday, July 7, when I saw this photo … Continue reading CA Pound Causes Puppy to Needlessly Suffer

If John Q. Public Can Do It, Why Can’t the Staff at Your Local Pound?
Every day, people with zero training and no government paycheck adopt out puppies and kittens.

They are not surrounded by enablers … Continue reading If John Q. Public Can Do It, Why Can’t the Staff at Your Local Pound?
