All Duplin County Animals to be destroyed on 12-18-2012 due to construction.

Duplin County Animal Shelter in North Carolina which has failed State Inspections time and time again is getting geared up to start some improvements to their facility. This sounds wonderful to the ears until you dig a little deeper and find that the County has stated all animals ( at least the dog's) will be euthanized on 12-18-2012 to help them make these much needed changes.

Now if they planned ahead for the dates to make these much needed improvements why not plan ahead and reach out to local Animal Advocates to help save each of these dog's from a death that seems to be less than 2 days away.

How many of these animals will be killed prior to the NC 72 hr. Holding Rule, how many of these animals are family pet's that Animal Control just picked up as strays and the families and the families are still searching for them? Where was the plea for help from the County Manager to save these animals versus just making the quick decision that they all must die?

Now is the time to aid the Duplin County Animal Shelter, if you could reach out and save a life this week please look to this Shelter due to the timeline we now know exists.

And it wouldn't hurt to voice your corners to the County Manager and ask him to give these animals and extension of time so the Animal Advocates have the opportunity to network these homeless pet's. Why was death the only avenue in this County Manager's mind?

Duplin County Animal Shelter fails State Inspection yet again Oct 25,2012

What does it take to understand that if you work in an Animal Shelter and you go by a kennel with an animal inside a cage and they have no water, you stop what you are doing and you give it water. Why would anyone need to have it in writting that you MUST GIVE WATER TO CAGED ANIMALS? If this is your staff then you need to fire and re-hire people with compassion and people who can think on their feet.

Duplin County Animal Shelter and Staff you are a disgrace, your excuse that you are doing the best that you can is a poor answer. Anyone who leaves animals with no water or a water bowl so high puppies cant reach it, feeds puppies & kittens hard food when their teeth are not developed yet to chew it, to allow animals no care over a weekend, well there is no excuse for this.

Revamp Duplin County Animal Shelter, get a new staff that has compassion and understands that caged aniamls need water and food. My heart breaks for these caged animals.
