They could haved placed him in a good home without any cats but choose to kill a perfectly great dog in the prime of his life.
So when we got that woman, who ran the shelter like a death camp, we got her canned and replaced. She had a $150,000 a year job with a $20,000 a year xmas bonus. She was on the tv news crying the night we got her ass thrown out. Guess what? She got hired by another shelter that is also a high kill shelter.
Now that she is gone as the shelter manager, I have spoken to many employees who worked a the shelter when they were murdering dogs by the truckload. They said that they never once ever saw that old manager pet a dog. Not once in like 20 years. They said she really did not like animals. Past employees told me that on days when she came to work in a grumpy mood, more dogs were going to die that day. That is what we were up against. It was a brutal fight to the end but we won and stopped the killing of perfectly healthy and adoptable dogs.
All the employees who stayed on under the new management are praising the new atmosphere. Many employees lives were traumatized when they were forced to kill dogs that they had fallen in love with in the shelter. They said it is fun now to go to work. They are doubling the adoption rate so they dont get overcrowded and they only put a dog down unless its sick or extremely aggressive beyond help. The old shelter was constantly fighting against the citizens and were total assholes and refused to stop killing. They killed dogs for tearing up stuffed animals. I shit you not. So if you have a dog that likes to rip up stuffed animals, if it got into that old shelter, it would be put to death for it
