County Managers Responsible for the Animal Shelter’s Decline are Turning Their Back on
the Community

shelters-decline-are-turning-their-back-on-the-community/
County managers and the animal shelter director are stalling and delaying. They’re not
applying the shelter’s Strategic Plan. They want to throw it away and waste taxpayer money
on a “new” plan, to cover up their own failure. They are turning their back on community
standards.

2024 Election Results: Janet Nguyen on her way to becoming next First District Supervisor
in Orange County

Excerpt:
Another priority for Nguyen is holding the OC Animal Care shelter to a higher standard, she
said. She has long been vocal about the shelter’s policies. In August, a bill authored by
Nguyen passed making it best practice for shelter veterinarians to make notations on
animal medical charts for injured and diseased animals along with euthanasia criteria.
“These are the things that the county refused to do, and we had to force them to do so with
a bill,” Nguyen said. “We need to look at what programs are available for the residents.
Neutering a dog is very expensive these days. Are we giving opportunities for residents to
come in and work with the county? There are so many things, but I can’t answer these
questions until we audit and see what the problem is.”
