🎉 We are thrilled to be able to publicly announce that we have been working with the Council Chair and his team and have legislation written, edited and ready to be introduced for County Council Voting when they return to session! 🎉 This bill proposes a plan to allow banned dogs back in to the county, existing dogs to remain safely with their families, and increases education and resources offered to human guardians of dogs for a safer community for all, improving lives for pets and people. 🐶 👨
➡️ But like always, WE NEED YOUR HELP! ⬅️
The dogs can’t afford to have this ban continue, and all of us would be heartbroken if 2018 repeated itself.
We are begging you to spend the summer spreading joy by volunteering (with us, the shelter, a rescue), snuggling your dog, sharing our stories and considering your thoughtful testimony for fall hearings.
For right now, this bill and the dogs need no additional distractions. ❌Please DO NOT contact council about anything animal services related, including shelter complaints, euth/urgent lists or BSL. Just for now!
We know there is a lot of work to be done, and we are doing the work. The wheels of change are slow, but we’re persistent and not going anywhere.
💜 Thank you for your trust, grace, partnership and patience.
Thank you for helping improve the lives of dogs and people in
We can’t wait to see you at events this summer and testimony this fall!
