FOX 26 spoke with one long-term volunteer at Harris County Pets shelter who says the interim director's claims are false, and pets are paying the price.
Pets, was sending euthanasia lists to rescue groups in hopes of saving as many lives as possible.
Instead of sharing information about the dogs shelter, employees now read from a script that gives those who call little or no information. Same thing with Lance. He had an adopter, but the rescue tag was a few hours past the deadline, so Lance didn't make it out alive. During the height of the pandemic, shelters and rescue groups experienced more adopters and fosters due to many people staying home. Now, we are seeing lower, pre-pandemic, adoption and fostering rates, making it more challenging for our shelter to stem the tide of an increasing animal population.
All three dogs above were placed on a euthanasia list and given the opportunity to increase their chances to be adopted, fostered, or rescued over an extended period of time. None were successfully adopted, fostered, or rescued. They were euthanized after all live-saving options were exhausted.
