Dear fellow citizens, are county facilities still operating under COVID restrictions? The
answer may surprise you.
Sure, county government won’t ADMIT that it’s keeping some COVID restrictions in
place. It’s just calling them something else.
In 2020, OC Animal Care (the county animal shelter under contract to this fair city)
suspended public access. Visits were only by appointment. A lot of shelters did that… but
then returned to normal operation in 2022.
OC Animal Care kept the restrictions in place. It said they made the shelter
safer. Wrong. Read in Voice of OC:

safety-record-it-needed-an-excuse-to-keep-the-kennels-off-limits-and-ditch-its-strategic-
plan/
Then it changed its tune and said that these restrictions help adoptions. Weird. And
wrong. Read this research study:

OC Animal Care now open for walk-through visitors for just HALF the hours.
Your city pays the shelter’s bills. Your city council can press OC Animal Care for a
complete return to pre-COVID practices.
County government has made a mess of the shelter and keeps you in the
dark. Incompetent managers don’t like public scrutiny. Stay informed on OCShelter.com
