I really appreciated the mayor's response. I think this is the power of zootoo. Of course, all of us continue to worry about the dogs at the current shelter. Whenever a shelter has to close--because of poor management, because of fiscal issues, whatever, I think every shelter in the area should do its best to help adopt out and take in any remaining animals. No one shelter should be seen as having to do this - since these two shelters are not really connected to expect them to just take in all the dogs seems a bit unfair. It sounds like they have tried to work with the current shelter and given them a time frame based on what the shelter told them.
I hope the Marion area responds to the closing of this shelter by helping get the dogs adopted. I hope anyone at the old shelter that is angry at the situation can see beyond it and make sure that their work is still all for the animals in their care.
I also hope Richard sees how the zootoo site has been utilized to get informaitonout and then to get information clarified. Now I just hope we see that in the end the animals are taken care of by all concerned. then I would say zootoo has shown it's value! Read Less
