Please help! This shelter is abusing animals and causing them extreme distress. Inhumane euthanization techniques must stop!
Citizens in Wood County, Ohio are disgusted and appalled that their money is used to fund inhumane practices. Dogs are treated cruelly as the facility is euthanizing dogs by sticking them with a needle directly into their heart. This cruel practice is done without sedation. Dogs that resist are lifted into the air by catch poles around their necks.
Animals that are brought in injured, do not receive medical treatment. They are left to lie on a concrete floor while waiting to be reclaimed by their owners. No pain medication is given during the three day wait for unlicensed dogs.
An employee there is hiding dogs from the public and not reuniting dogs with their owners because she doesn’t like certain dog owners in Wood County. She holds certain breeds for one particular person to take/adopt. That individual does NOT operate a 501(c)3 rescue group.
A letter was sent to the Wood County Commissioners and the dog warden asking them to work with local experts to rectify these and other cruel practices at the shelter. There was no response. Help us tell them that “no response” is unacceptable. We must speak out for the dogs.
