All I'm aware of that I can do is keep helping as many of these dogs as I can. I don't know what else I can do. Out petition was never taken serious and the county just laughed and rolled their eyes when it was presented to them. Our county is relatively poor and they say they can't afford to build and staff a humane society. Even after I offered to run it for free.

Please don't give up entirely. If the next county is supposed to help &
doesn't, tell that to the State Rep for your area. Let him or her know that
local PD is not set up to help with animals & This is a county wide problem.

Most State Reps are very good at answering their letters & hearing from
those they represent. It's worth a try anyway. Good luck with this.
