That's a tough call to make. Isn't there a rescue organization you can volunteer with instead?? Volunteering at the SPCA would be helping the animals, but if the conditions are THAT deplorable, I'd look elsewhere.

Do you know for a FACT that this incident happened. If so, and you are ABSOLUTELY 100% SURE that it did happen, I'd contact the news media. There is nothing more powerful than the media to get the public's attention and also make the town's politicians look like fools for letting it happen right under their noses.
There is a collie rescue, but I believe that it is small and doesn't take in volunteers. I can try asking though.

Yes, I'm sure that this happened. Naturally it enraged the public and so the media covered everything. The only people who seemed unconcerned were the people with the Spca. After this happened, most of the volunteers quit. There was this website where some volunteers explained in detail their sadness and anger at the situation. I'll see if I can find it again..
