Review of Broward County's troubled shelter begins today
Consultants from the National Animal Control Association (NACA) will begin a week-long review of Broward County's troubled Animal Care and Regulation division today, Monday, May 5. The team will look at all of the agency's operations, including sheltering, adoptions, field operations and euthanasia procedures.
County commissioners approved an outside review earlier this year after hearing complaints that dogs and cats were being euthanized in front of other animals, and that carcasses were being thrown into the landfill.
Individuals and organizations can submit comments to the NACA by e-mail at naca@nacanet.org or by calling 913-768-1319, extension 6.
