San Diego Humane Society transferred the animals to the Humane Society of Southern Arizona on Aug. 7.
The frustration level at the San Diego Humane Society reached new levels this weekend after two executives at the Humane Society of Southern Arizona were suspended over the weekend. SDHS still does not know what happened to 250 of the 315 small pets it transferred to Southern Arizona in early August.
HSSA CEO Steve Farley and COO Christian Gonzales have steadfastly said 250 of the small pets were sent to a smaller, private rescue that subsequently adopted them out over a seven-week span, but they have provided no proof, documentation or photographs to support those claims. In a statement, the HSSA board of directors said Farley and Gonzales were suspended pending an investigation by a third party.
