After going to the April Animal Control Meeting, I left there with the feeling that the Karn County Animal Shelter, Would rather raise fees, and fines, pass laws, put down animals, & blame the public, rather then address the problem of to many animals being at the shelter & finding them homes..
  If the problem is there are to many animals being put down at the shelter, then why arent they doing more to find them homes ?
If the SPCA can hold an adoption day & adopt out 50 dogs in 1 day, the why cant the KC shelter do the samething ?
Passing new laws, adding fines & raising fees, arent going to find homes for the dogs & cats in the shelter now..
 I was at the garden fest last weekend,  animal control had a booth out there, How hard would it of been to take a few dogs out there, walk around with them. for people to see, & try to find homes for them ?
I see other shelters holding adoption days all over Bakersfield,, Where are the Kern County Animal Control Adoption Days ?

 I will be dontating 1/2 of whatever my next obedience class brings in to a spay & neuter voucher progam,, My next class starts May 21st @ 7pm, $75 for 8 weeks.
