2009-06-05 Animal shelter changing management

Pretty much everyone in the community is worried that everything is going to go back to the way it used to be (before the APL took over)," said Lisa Marie Ordakowski, a shelter volunteer and the president of the Lost Dog and Cat Rescue Foundation, who said that previous management groups were more willing to euthanize animals. "Its just so scary. "

Jeree Hamlet, the shelters assistant manager, was supervising other employees around 5:30 p. m. Friday as they stacked crates of animals. The shelter had closed more than an hour ago, but Hamlet - who said she also works 12-hour days - said she would spend most of the evening driving the animals to rescue groups so they would not have to be euthanized.

2009-06-01 Animal control plan gets mixed reaction

The proposed spay and neuter and ownership rules are needed to attack the citys stray animal problem, said Shanie Murchison Garcia, a former Humane Society president who now volunteers with West Tennessee Animal Rescue.

Councilman Frank Neudecker said the plan seems to have needed more input from residents. He called the animal permits "taxes" on pet owners and questioned how the city would enforce the neutering and pet-limit proposals.
