Incompetence gets dogs killed

Posted November 23rd, 2011 in Shelters and tagged , , by Josh

The top half of this image shows this dog’s kennel card upon intake–and it remained on her cage for many days after, with that same ID#. The bottom half of the image shows the kennel card from Monday, 11/21–miraculously with an entirely new ID#. This dog was impounded on 11/16 and numerous people have been networking her photographs since almost immediately after I uploaded them on the 17th. That means that in most cases confusion will likely win out, and that all the networking done over the last 5+ days has been linked with an incorrect ID#. Lastly, why/how is this happening? I understand that it may have been a simple oversight, or that to most people it may seem like something small–but for this dog it’s her lifeline. Many Pit Bull-type dogs are only given the minimum amount of time at the shelter, so to have something random and unorganized like this happen, it’s just really disappointing. She is currently still at the Carson shelter


*Update* This dog was killed on 11/25.
