Jackie,
What you describe is exactly the way the
city(Marion Cty) animal shelter was being
run. Animals were in dire need of blankets
or towels to keep them off the bare concrete
floor of their cages. Toys for the pups to
chew on,etc..but this need was never expressed to the public..Things were very
bad at the "pound". The privately sponsered
Indpls Humane Society took over the operation
of the city pound and was supposed to make
a lot of changes for the better.A year later
the Indpls Star newspaper reviewed the so-
called changes and found the city facility
in no better condition than before, in fact
worse in terms of adoption & killing rates.
People in Indy, when shown the facts, did
react loudly. A mayor's task force has been
reviewing all facets of animal care at
"Animal Care & Control" and I just know
that things will get better for these poor
dogs & cats because "the people have spoken", and the elected officals who make
policy are finally listening .
The Mayor does want to be re-elected,
and it's a "real" issue to be dealt with
because Indy people stood up & spoke back
to the elected officals.. Your desire to help is wonderful &loving,please don't give up trying..
