There were people there from county, city. For our final we had to kill three dogs. The dogs would be killed no matter what we were told. They were three pitbulls who had supposedly failed their behavioral test. They were deemed "unadoptable." One was scared and I thought if someone pushed him, he might nip, a very small pitbull mix. Another was just plain scared, probably never would have nipped anyone. The third was the sweetest dog in the world kissing every person in the room, tail at full wag all the time. She was deemed "food aggressive." Before we killed her we gave her a muffin, then snatched it away. She just kissed our hands and wagged her tail. Even though they deemed her "unadoptable" because she was "food aggressive," she was on the adoption floor for 30 days with no takers. If the animal were indeed "dangerous," why did they offer her up for adoption? Because she was not dangerous. It was all just a ploy, a ruse to deem a dog "unadoptable" so you can kill it and not have to count it. Just about every person in the room was crying when we killed that dog.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25037502.post-17215571291566427412009-09-05T00:39:16.175-07:002009-09-05T00:39:16.175-07:00The place where I volunteer pulled a dog from Pasa...The place where I volunteer pulled a dog from Pasadena. This is a small, extremely well-behaved, very charming dog - and they gave her twenty days to live from impound. At first when we called we thought we must have the wrong dog off their website because we couldn't believe they'd given her so little time. Not only was she small, she gets along fine with other dogs, and there's NO WAY they didn't have space for her for at least another week or two. But no, they said, we'd better come get her immediately, if we wanted to make sure she made it. <br /><br />When talking to new volunteers about how dogs come to our shelter I use her as an example of how harsh things are out there for dogs in city shelters. People are uniformly shocked, and many tell me that they assumed that a "Humane Society" would be no-kill. But Pasadena told me they are contracted with six different cities, and no shelter that has city contracts is going to be no-kill.<br /><br />They also make money letting American Humane Association hold classes there. Fun fact: I attended a two-day Basic Animal Emergency Services class there last year. Also in attendance was Derek Brown, who L.A. County Animal Care and Control lists in their directory as Deputy Director of Operations. Prior to that he was at LAAS and was Captain at West L.A. (and not a guy known for his people skills or smarts). He was Captain at a L.A. City Shelter, and is now a Deputy Director at County, and he was taking a "Basic" Animal Emergency services course in 2008. A guy who had leadership positions in two major Animal Control departments in a county known for earthquakes, fires, mudslides, etc. - and he was just taking the BASIC course on how to deal with emergencies. He also didn't bother to stay for the full course on day one, and if he showed up at all on day two he was long gone before lunch. He thought he was going to have staffers like Danny Ubario cover for him, but the American Humane training staff who were handing out certificates at the end of day two were visibly flummoxed when they learned he'd just split without a word to them.<br /><br />I wonder if Captain Derek Brown is hanging a certificate in his office showing that he "completed" a Basic Animal Emergency Services course last year...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25037502.post-8459087018528197012009-09-05T00:35:35.136-07:002009-09-05T00:35:35.136-07:00Isn't it strange.

A passing rescuer takes photos of non-money donations being thrown away and gets pictoral evidence that the number of animals evacuated far exceeds what they say it is.<br /><br />Once you notice irregularities like this, you start to dig deeper. And what do you find? A diseased shelter.<br /><br />I am sure those claims as to the number of volunteers is excessive. I wonder if Ed shouldn't do a public record request for any paper trail as to how many animals were evacuated to them.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25037502.post-80060814629545285902009-09-05T00:31:00.357-07:002009-09-05T00:31:00.357-07:00I know this to be true.

In 2006 $7.7M, in 2005 4.8M. Steven McNall is the only board member who makes anything. The rest get zero. He gts $137K. They spend $86K a year on the behavioral dept. Most of the money brought in goes to overhead, not the animals.
