Help be a Voice for Citrus County Animal Shelter Pets

Not to implement current shelter rules that are on the table for a vote on May 5th 2015 such as; 10 day hold on animals then put to death when hold is up. Vouchers only for spay and neutering pets. Allowing the director solely to make a temperament decision of an animal for which he has no formal training.

Why is this important?

Deadline is May 12th. County is to vote to make changes to the local county shelter that will impact the livelihood of innocent animals to the point of death with no other options. 10 day stray hold is not enough time to give an animal a chance at life. Volunteers work countless hours to make sure these animals do get a chance. Right now due to the efforts of the volunteers the county is at a 69 percent save rate with dogs. Save rate numbers would drop significantly, along with discouraged volunteers, kennel staff and some immediate administrative individuals.
