I received this email this morning....please help!!
Because of the State of Emergency declared by both the State of Florida and the federal government on behalf of the State of Florida, new laws put into place since Hurricane Katrina dictate that all animals taken in by government-operated shelters be held for 90 days to giver owners time to find and claim their pets.
This means that the animals that are there now and are available for adoption are being pulled TODAY to be euthanized to make room for all the animals they will have to hold for 90 days.
There is a solution to this that does not require mass euthanization ... YOUR BREVARD COUNTY COMMISSIONERS CAN CALL FOR AN EMERGENCY MEETING TO FORCE OUR BREVARD COUNTY ANIMAL SERVICES AND ENFORCEMENT DEPARTMENT TO FIND IMMEDIATE TEMPORARY HOUSING TO BE RENTED TO HOLD THE NEW ANIMALS COMING IN NOW SO PEOPLE CAN FIND AND RECLAIM THEIR ANIMALS.
As usual, nobody in our County government seems to be able to think outside the box to do something creative to save lives. CALL YOUR COUNTY COMMISSIONERS AND CRAIG ENGLESON OF BREVARD COUNTY ANIMAL SERVICES AND ENFORCEMENT RIGHT NOW AND ASK THEM TO FIND TEMPORARY SHELTERS TO HOLD THE ANIMALS FOR 90 DAYS SO THOSE THAT ARE AT THE SHELTER NOW DO NOT HAVE TO BE EUTHANIZED !!!!!!!!!
