I just learned from a friend who is a volunteer at the County Pound, that more dogs have been and are being killed for no other reason than temperament testing. What is this testing? I never heard of it. A friend told me about this website and chat room.
Heard also that if the dogs are killed for this phony reason, then the Pound doesn't report dogs killed for space. Make them look good. I was told that young adoptable dogs and even older puppies are being put to death. Are there any laws to stop this? My friend said he saw two dogs being led down the hall to be killed by the new woman worker there who is in charge of the pound under the vet who runs it. These poor dogs thought she was taking them for a walk. It just puts a hollow feeling in my stomach. One dog who was killed, i would've adopted. What kind of a place is this? A vet in charge? I thought vets were vets because they loved animals and wanted to helpp them.

Why should an inocent, perfectly adopable animal get a dealth sentence, because the manager takes the easy way out and kills. Adopt a pets are few and far between, open houses at the shelter are non-existant, pictures in the local paper don't exist and the bottom line is that the manager just likes to KILL! It is a very sad state of affairs and he needs the BOOT! ASAP!

IT LITERALLY BRINGS TEARS TO MY EYES TO THINK OF TWO DOGS BE LED TO THEIR DEALTH, THINKING THAT THEY ARE GOING FOR A WALK. I CALL PEOPLE THAT INSTIGATE THESE THINGS OR CONDONE IT PLASTIC PEOPLE. ERIC AND BARBARA, YOU SHOULD BE ASHAMED. YOUR DAYS ARE NUMBERED!

A mom pit/sharpei and three 5 day old pups were turned in to this place by their owner. The director of his place gives turn-ins just one day! The Hayden Law states that they will have the same amount of time as a stray. If the mom is tested for her temperament, she will fail because she is defensive of her pups. That means that if she is killed, then her puppies can be killed because they won't have a mom. This is not right. These animals and all animals should have a chance at life. That place is really bad.

The shelter is very very bad and something needs to be done soon! The manager, Eric Anderson is a nutcase, Barbara is his clone and Patrick just likes to kill animals. It's not a pretty picture for the poor defenseless animals who are at these idiot's mercy. The general public needs to know what is going on out there, they would be in shock! Tell everyone you know exactly what is going on despite all the eyewash and B.S. that comes out of Eric Anderson's mouth. The manager of our shelter should be kind, caring, honest and above all, the animals wellbeing should be first and foremost, all the qualities that Eric Anderson does not have and will never possess. You either like animals or you don't, and it is very clear how he stands by his actions. I am the voice of the animals who can't talk, and they are crying out, please help us!

Update: Yes, this mother dog failed Barbara's test, whatever that is and she is on the KILL list. The puppies are doomed also, as they will have no mother. Come on people, don't just talk about it --- DO SOMETHING---

Keep in mind that the "wonderful" Hayden Act (and I use that description loosely) allows for the euthanization of animals under 8 weeks of age. Not many shelters have the staff to take care of unweaned animals and the "rescues" are always too full to take them to. "Rescues" would have to take care until weaned and this takes up the room from an animal that can be adopted quickly in order to add to their "donations". It is business afterall and profit is needed to keep going.

To One Who Knows- This shouldn't be an issue of money that these innocent puppies die. The issue is that Barbara, who is just as incompetent as Dr Dealth the director has no idea what she is doing, and should not be in charge of who lives or dies. And furthermore, who are you to attack the Hayden Laws. If you are so worried about donations, instead of what is right and wrong, you must be running on a shoestring, and shouldn't be doing rescue anyway. You need to evaluate your priorities!

To One Who Know: My friend who is a volunteer read me part of the Law and it says that animals will be provided nutrition among other necessities. So in the case of a Mom Dog with Nursing Puppies - killing the Mom Dog deprives the puppies of their source of nutrition which is against the law. What I was told is that the Mom Dog failed a food aggression test - meaning someone tried to take her food and she growled. The Mom Dog's # 1 priority is to feed and care for her puppy. So, of course, she responded with a growl. Unbelievable that this is allowed at this dog pound. Did they kill the Mom Dog so that the Puppies can starve to death?

This is a heartbreaker. My friend who volunteer at this place said the it was "dead dogs walking". The dog walking people knew the dogs that were to be killed Friday after the place closed. Those people walked those dogs who enjoyed being alive and outside, knowing that the dogs didn't have much time to be alive. I don't know how the dog walkers were able to do this. And I will never understand how some people will say a dog is unadoptable because it growls when you try to take its food. I heard that the dogs food rations were cut way down. So maybe the dogs are starving. I hope that this place gets investigated and the people doing this to the dogs go to jail.
