Chicago Animal Control- The Truth Hurts<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n

by Lauren Favor<\/a> on Thursday, May 12, 2011<\/p>\n

I recently rescued a dog from Chicago Animal Control & Shelter
\nand really got to see first hand what these poor dogs have to go
\nthrough. I drove there from Georgia and all the way back just to adopt
\none in particular dog that absolutely stole my heart. She is one of the
\nvery few lucky ones. This AC desperately needs HELP. They have 7 FULL
\npavillions of dogs (upt to 75 in each) That’s roughly 500 DOGS!!!!!
\nThey are the only one who accepts strays in all of Chicago. These dogs
\nare living in 4 x 4 inch cages in the pavillions. It’s TINY. There is
\nnot nearly enough staff paid by the goverment to be able to walk all of
\nthe animals every day, so many of them don’t get walks for days at a
\ntime. They sit in the their own feces until the shelter employee has a
\nchance to go to every pavillion and basically spray the floor down with
\nall of them STILL IN THE CAGES. It’s absolutely PITIFUL. This place is
\nNOT for the weak of hearts. Mind you, this is only the DOGS we are
\ntalking about. They have plenty of cats too.<\/div>\n
There are only 100
\nanimals (both dogs and cats) allowed into the adoption pavillion at
\nonce. If there are more animals that come in, sometimes these other
\ndogs don’t even have a chance to make it to the adoption pavillion. Do
\nyou know what that means? That means no one even knew they were there
\nbecause they never got a chance to be seen by the public. No human
\naffection, hardly a view to the outside world, sitting in their own
\nwastes, hearing the extremely loud sounds of all the other distressed
\nanimals echoing through out the halls, scared to death. Can you even
\nimagine? Could you even personally go to sleep knowing if you woke up
\nthe next day, it might be your last day??? I know we have our own
\nproblems down here in the South, but I could not hesitate to pass this
\non, and educate people on the issues that stand at the Chicago, IL
\nAnimal Control. I CANNOT forget what I saw.<\/div>\n
Please Remember to
\nSpay & Neuter your pets. If you have room at all for even one of
\nthese souls, please let me know. Even if you don’t, I am BEGGING you to
\nplease share this with as many people as you know. They need dog
\nwalkers, they need people to help take photos of all of those not in the
\nadoption hall so that they can get some visability in hopes of rescuing
\ntheir lives. No amount of help is too little.<\/div>\n
For Rescues outside of the Chicago Area, please call Debbie Harris. 773-587-4384 – Cell, the best way to reach her!<\/div>\n
dharrispa@yahoo.com<\/div>\n
Transportation can always be arranged.<\/div>\n
I’m
\ngoing to attach a video each week of the animals they were able to have
\ntime to record in each pavillion. They may be hard to watch, but if we
\ncan save at least one life, it makes it all worthwhile. Thank you all
\nfor what you do!!!<\/div>\n
