Shelter directors are just people. With strengths and flaws and personalities and baggage.  Shelter directors come and go. They retire, get fired, change jobs or professions, have babies, or burn out and lose interest in saving lives. 

 

What we need in America are laws and policies that protect our nation's shelter animals regardless of who is in charge. We need laws that will require shelter to implement programs that will save lives rather than end them.   We see almost weekly the case of a shelter that quickly starts to regress or improve with a change in management.  We cannot trust shelter management blindly to always have the animals' best interests at heart. They may be gone tommorrow and we'll be back to square one. 

 

This is why we need strong laws  to pass in every state.   To protect our community's animals.  Regardless of who is in charge.
