I want to see the live release rate continue to rise and then stay there. It will take a community effort to make that happen. The new leadership has demonstrated once again that with the right person in charge, we can get the desired results. I look forward to ALL of the shelters in Northern Virginia receiving recognition as a No Kill shelter.

]]> Comment on AWLA “To Do” List by Ron http://awlahawk.org/awla-to-do-list/#comment-786 Sun, 12 Jun 2011 21:13:24 +0000 http://awlawatch.wordpress.com/?page_id=30#comment-786 I would like to see AWLA publish monthly statistics – how else are we to monitor their performance? The numbers I am most interested in seeing are:
- number of adoptions
- number of animals killed
- specific reason for each kill (owner requested euth, behavior, etc.)
- average number of dogs available for adoption for the month
- etc.

I’ll never forget the day I had concerns about going to get brand new baby kittens in someones garden. I was newly employed for 6 months. I told the chief of animal control my concerns regarding not being able catch the mother. I was re-assured she would find a foster family for those kittens if I could not catch the mother queen. 30 minutes after I gave them names, set up a kennel, made kennel cards she took them back and euthanized them. It was then I realized something wasn’t right. I kept every case and other documents for my own investigation and noticed several patterns and ill-fated outcomes. Depending on who was “in charge” those days, it goes to show and prove who is meant to work in that type of environment. Those who lambaste and how no regards morally and for the law eventually realize “what comes around goes around.” I truly miss helping those in need. Just the other day, after missing for 3 months since our last snow fall. (a savannah I was taking care of who made his home on my back porch) I reunited him with his family. What a wonderful day! Kudos to Mr. Trent!

Sounds like a certain kennel tech and I think I know who this is.

Your the one who doesn’t know the REAL scoop.
I worked there and know what was going on. Even was willing to testify under oath to those that run the county if needed about how ill run that facility was under Kay and Bonnie.
You or anyone else can contact me and I’ll fill you in on stuff that AWLA cannot twist around and say never happened.
