[QUOTE=NotAnAverageGuy;15799]Belle,

Here in Houston, BARC has had the "not wanting to run their shelter issue" and most of the animals there were sick and some died.

i understand.

many times, even the best shelters become sort of territorial of "their" shelter- how the day to day business is handled. if the commissioners vote a humane society to "run" a shelter, providing the hs wishes to do so- that may be another story. however, the chief animal control officer in my county is married to a deputy and the animal control shelter is getting support from someone. the chief ACO is not going down if she, the husband, and commissioners can help it.

steps have to be taken. many, many pieces need to be in place. meetings have to be held. advisors brought in. well-thought-out plans have to be brought before the commissioners - who have been all too willing to ignore issues.
