February 21, 2024,
Today I'm going to tell you about Mia, a one and a half year old dog at Ventura County Animal Shelter in Camarillo who is scheduled to be killed at 11 a.m. All the rescues and volunteers are pleading with elected officials like myself who are appointed as VCAS Commissioners to contact the shelter and request that her ex*****on be delayed for at least three days to give the rescue groups time to save her.

To be continued later today whenever I have pockets of time.

BE CHANGE FOR PET OVERPOPULATION

Pet overpopulation in Ventura County cost the county millions of dollars a year with no end in sight.

The approach being used to combat the overpopulation has been proven to be ineffective. Funds need to be directed towards prevention, rather than high salaries and administration bloat.

Solutions have always been there, which is investing in affordable and free, low-cost spay and neuter.

Money for prevention will trickle down to less kittens and puppies being born in the first place, filling up shelters and rescue groups year after year. Ventura County Animals Services will soon be hiring a new director.

The changes that are needed start with a new director whose focus will be on solving the overpopulation problem, rather than continuing the “business as usual” policy.

In addition, and urgently needed, are changes in policies that are exasperating the overpopulation crisis. One such policy doing the most damage is the “managed intake” policy, meaning kittens, cats and dogs are turned away due to being “at capacity.”

Friendly, adoptable, unaltered cats and kittens are returned to the streets resulting in more kittens being born and putting more strain on the lack of spay and neuter appointments.

This is misleading the public and dishonest as VCAS is an “Open Admission” shelter.

We don’t need more highly paid administrators who are not interested in solving the problem. We need well-paid veterinarians to do high-volume spay and neuter, so that less kittens and puppies are born in the first place. It is time for this heavily funded taxpayer shelter to alleviate this crisis rather than to keep kicking the can down the road.

Ventura County, be the change for pet overpopulation.

I received a request from a shelter reform advocate for studies and information to stop their local pound from using temperament tests to claim dogs are “unadoptable” and kill them, as well as information for what shelters should do instead. The fact is that it the shelter’s own socialization,...

Every kill shelter in in the US should post these photos on their front door for the people who are surrendering their dog because they've outgrown it or they're moving and can't take it with....people in Ukraine are literally carrying 90 lb dogs through hell and high water to save them and not leave them behind🐾💓🐾🇺🇦🐾
I know there are pets that are displaced and in need of rescue, some people were killed and their pets are on the streets. There are rescues trying to help, if any of you want to post links below I will keep this post public to help support them 🐾
