It’s sad but *please* share to spread awareness and hopefully make a difference

💩 💩 💩 💩 Did you know that the dogs at Lee County Domestic Animal Services only get to leave their kennel to use the bathroom outside 1 time per day- if they're lucky. They don't have enough staff & they beg for volunteers on a daily basis but won't "accept" most applicants & then "fire" the most loyal volunteers that ever walked the earth if they voice ANY concerns? Imagine running a facility where the dogs are forced to live in p**p & p*e filled concrete kennels 24 hours a day? That's happening right here in Lee County, Florida..Isnt that right, Director Pablo Adorno? Right PR.Karen Fordiani/Frick? Why yes. YES IT IS.
2 AMAZING ladies who have worked there for months tried to speak the facility management about this & were met with deaf ears. So, they went to the Asst. County Manager Marc Mora & commissioner Mikey Greenwell. The ladies were warned by many other people that if they spoke up to ANYONE outside those corrupt doors, they'd be "fired" instantly. But their huge, genuine hearts couldnt take it. So they spoke to Marc un"Moral" & Mikey Greenwell & were "ASSURED" 1000% that they would "never let that happen". So they met with them in a meeting. The following day, the ladies went in, started cleaning the p**p filled kennels & were immediately told they were FIRED. The following day LCDAS put out a plea for volunteers. Even when these 2 DEDICATED ladies were there, the dogs were ONLY going out once a day because of how many dogs are in this slaughterhouse. Imagine now, without them!! Please tell me any other facility that you know of that operates under these horrific, horrendous & outrageous conditions & then "fires" their best volunteers who do that job for free because they voice valid concerns.
LEE COUNTY IS OUT OF CONTROL. If you want to watch the ladies speak today at the Commissioners meeting, heartbroken & destroyed that they've been terminated from a volunteer position where they CHANGED the lives of those dogs, you can tune in & watch it live on the Lee County Commissioners website. The dogs of Lee County are the most UNLUCKY dogs in the state to ever step foot thru those doors.

🚨 CRATES NEEDED 🚨

Humane Society Naples is continuing to monitor Tropical Storm Milton and preparing for impacts it may have to Collier County. As preparation for the potential transportation of shelter animals, HSN is asking for donations of crates of any size. If you have a crate you can spare, one you no longer use, etc... They do not need to be brand new.

Crates can be dropped off at our Main Shelter location: 370 Airport Pulling Rd. N

😩 please consider Lee County DAS when fostering or adopting

All of these dogs were placed on death row today 9-24-2024 as you see in the email sent out from the high kill facility. We weren't able to update their posts yet as we were working & then out in the field trapping dogs but wanted to get the list posted ASAP. We will update all of their posts tomorrow.

Please share

**We understand that there are legitimate cases but rescues and shelters are overflowing.
Stop the backyard breeders and adopt don’t shop.

Every time rescue is asked to take an owner surrender- we have to somehow make room on our little raft for that dog. When an owner says stuff like “I don’t have time to give them the best life” or “I have to move” or “they have too much anxiety” it really falls flat because that means if we bring them on the raft, another dog out there in the freezing water gets to die.

Every day in rescue we adjudicate life and death by gate keeping who can get on the boat.

Rescues and shelters are the tiny rescue boats.

The ship is our community at large.

The iceberg is comprised of puppy mills, careless owners, backyard breeders, and a$$hats who won’t spay/neuter.

Finding a groomer you and your dog love & trust & sticking with them is not just convenient, but can be crucial. Here's why:

This is Bert the Scottie. He was diagnosed with diabetes about 5 months ago, and in a matter of about 6 weeks has gone almost completely blind as a result of the diabetes. 💔

Bert has been a Canine Cosmuttology client for almost 4 years now so he knows his groomers voice and routine very well by now. He knows the smells of our products as we do not change them. He knows the sounds of our tools and how they feel. And he knows the common cue words his groomer uses to prepare him for procedures such as asking him "are you ready?" to let him know we're about to proceed with something.

"The Name Game" is a common technique used by fear free and behavior specialist groomers alike to put a name or "cue" to a tool or procedure that the dog is able to understand and predict what is about to happen to them during the grooming process. For example, the groomer will name a slicker brush for the dog and may say "are you ready? We're going to brush" and the dog within a few grooming appointments learns what the "brush" is and what to expect.

This becomes crucial in cases like blindness. Bert won't have to be afraid and worry about what we're going to be doing now that he suddenly can't see during the grooming process because he knows many of the tools and procedures by name now and knows the order in which they are done for his individual comfort level. Beyond that, he knows his groomer loves him deeply, that he can trust her, and that she will respect and pay attention to his subtle body language cues of discomfort or fear.

When you find a groomer you and your dog love and trust, rebook and stay with them for your dogs sake. It means more to your dog than you know. 💚🩶🖤
