I wonder if there's a way we could help them. Besides, of course, the
education part for the county residents of spay/neuter and not letting your
animals roam at will. I would be willing to bet that more than half of the
animals they have taken in to date have been strays. I don't know what we
could do really, but it seems such a shame; they appear to have been trying
very hard to do all the right things for the animals.

Humane Society In Alabama Forced To Euthanize 65 Animals In 8 days

VALLEY, AL (WTVM) – As of today the Chattahoochee Humane Society in Valley,
Alabama has taken in 2098 animals since January 1st.
The humane society went to the county earlier this month asking for more
funding, without it they’ll have to shut down the facility September 30th and
every animal that has not been adopted will be euthanized. Sharon Hawkins,
President of the Board of Directors says, “we tried to present to them what it
costs to do that and apparently our county feels that they can do it more
affordably.”
Under U.S. law , an animal shelter is required in every county but what kind of
shelter is not specified.
Hawkins says shelters are required to keep an animal for 7 days, after that,
the humane society tries to get the animal adopted or fostered, but the county
is proposing a pound.
“The difference in a pound is that they hold the animal for 7 days and they do
not offer the option for adoption…so inevitably they’re euthanized” said Hawkins
Although the humane society needs more money, the board of directors has agreed
to try a six month contract with the county that would prolong the closing,
they are still waiting to hear if the county will accept.
Shon Sims, Director of the Humane Society is devastated…she feels like 6 years
of hard work for the community has been wasted, “I’ve tried really hard to make
sure the animals that leave our facility are healthy animals and that our
cleaning structure and disease protocol changed so we didn’t have the disease
presence we used too.”
