Carson maintains half-empty shelter, keeps killing regardless

Posted December 19th, 2014 in Shelters and tagged , , by Josh

There were at least 50 and as many as 56 empty kennels at the Carson shelter on Monday 12/15. They are continuing to kill. Stop killing! Stop killing for “space” with tons of space available. Makes no sense. None. That’s out of a possible 108 public kennels that are housed throughout 3 buildings. So at minimum 46% of the shelter and quite possibly 52% of the shelter was empty, and they are continuing to kill. They are continuing to kill dogs almost daily. Less dogs means less kennels to clean and less potential work or having to stay less engaged. Many there seem to have this mentality. I was there for about 90 minutes and only saw 1 kennel worker and 1 volunteer. And I know that these specific people both work hard and are nice people. But none of this makes any damned sense. Firing volunteers and being “understaffed” makes no damned sense. Killing any dog with so much empty space makes no damned sense.
