General Board for Big Dogs with Big Paws / HELP !!!!! HUMANE SOCIETY MANAGER OUT OF CONTROL !!!!!! really long sorry
« on: August 22, 2007, 09:43:01 pm »
Hey everybody I know that I fell off the face of the earth for a while but life has been crazy. Smitty and I are working two jobs a piece and Mason is in school now. Morph and AJ are doing awsome and we have missed all of you guys soooo much. I have been volunteering at our humane society in my spare time and over the past few weeks that has blown up in my face. For lack of a better term the Humane society manager is PSYCHOTIC. The county commisioners are trying to implement an animal control officer, but in order to do so they are going to have to update and improve our local humane society. They know this and have been trying to get an idea of what it would take to make the humane society able to handle all of the extra animals that would be coming in if they did hire in an animal control officer. Well the HS Manager does not like this. When a commisioner shows up to look around of ask questions she goes on the defencive and threatened to close the HS when they asked to see her financial books. She has a budget made out and it is not even close to the truth. She budgeted for 1,500 for dog food for the year and they havent bought dog food in three years. The same for the cat litter and cleaning supplies, they are budgeting money for things that are donated and the money is being spent someplace else. NOT on anything that has to do with the HS. On top of that... She WILL NOT have adoptathons or anything else that would help to get animals adopted. I have personally been there when she turned down three seperate invites to adoption fairs at different businesses and community events. She was supposed to take some dogs to a community event that was publicised in the paper and at the last minute she backed out for no reason.
The worst part is yet to come. This is what we got into a fight over... She goes on killing sprees at the shelter. She put down 23 puppies last month for no reason. But kept 2 dogs that are over 13 years old. There was a litter of 9 puppies that were sick and she put them down instead of takeing them to the vet and finding out what was wrong with them.. but she took the 13 year old cockerspaniel to the vet and had it treated for something. This lady is out of control. Tommorow she has to clean the cat room cause the lady that normal takes care of the cats is gonna be off. So this morning she went into the cat room and put 10 cats to sleep so that she doesnt have to clean up after them tommorow. It was not cause they were sick or that they had to many cats cause there was still 5 empty crates.
What can be done?
?? I cant go to the Humane society board. There are only 2 people on the HS board.. the president and the treasurer and they are husband and wife and also best friends with the HS Manager.
Is there anyway to stop such a blatant abuse of power??? Just cause she has the drugs does not mean she can use them to kill these poor animals for no reason. Esspecially when there are empty cages. And a lot of money is missing from there also. Since it is a not for profit organization is there anyway that I could get them audited or something?
Please help. I do have one friend who is currently employed there and she refuses to quit cause she is the only voice of reason there and is afraid of what might happen to the animals if she isnt there to protect them.
I am at my whits end on this one.
