Animal Shelter Needs Funds to Save Unwanted Animals From Euthanasia
The Fort Worth Animal Shelter has won approval from voters to build a new clinic, but the amount of money approved, $600,000, isn’t enough to build what they need. Currently shelter personnel do medical procedures in a hallway, and use part of one hall as the adoption center. It’s easy to say that the dogs and cats don’t know the difference, but they deserve better.
How much different would Barley’s experience have been if he had gotten vaccinated immediately upon coming to the shelter and neutered while still there? Would we have been able to prevent the distemper, or did he have it already when he got there? We’ll never know, but giving the shelter the money to help other dogs and cats in the future would go a long way to reducing the number of unwanted cats and dogs born and ultimately euthanized in Fort Worth.
Call or e-mail your city council member and let them know that getting this facility built is important to you and to our city.
