I am FOR more specific regulations of shelter rules!!!!
 

I am requesting that the Board amend the regulation to require that public and private animal shelters keep certain records for five years and make those records available for inspection by the Board and the public.  The petitioner requests that the regulation be amended to require that public and private animal shelters record "when and how each animal was taken in (stray, owner surrendered, taken in at the shelter, picked up in the field, etc.), why the animal was taken in (e.g., the owner did not want) and include a signed surrender form for anyone turning in an animal, the condition of each animal on intake, whether the animal had indicia of ownership and what attempts were made to reunite the animal with the owner, the kinds of care and treatment each animal received, including veterinary treatment, the disposition of each animal, and if the animal was killed, when and why the animal was killed." thank you for your time!!!
