Two sweet boys: dumped, found, scared, and waiting to die, at the most abusive "shelter" in the nation: director George Harding's deadly San Bernardino County Animal Care Devore "Animal Shelter". 💔

Since 2023, staff abused & killed *at least* 22 of your heelers.
It is what they do, every day: abuse & kill.
And make no mistake about it:
the shelter "leaders", the San Bernardino County Department of Public Health "leaders", and the San Bernardino County elected supervisors, are all entirely aware and completely complicit. 💥

A good boy will be lethally injected TODAY October 21, by heeler hater and serial pet killer, director Ben Winkleblack (2025 Salary + Benefits $288,355), at his abusive & deadly Contra Costa Animal Services. 💔

Heeler hater Ben gave zero public notice.
He made zero public plea.
He made zero effort.
Now, he will kill him.
And nothing about it will be "humane".

DIES TODAY OCTOBER 21

Volunteer Notes ❤️
Chito was easy to leash & walk. He likes to grab treats right out of the treat pouch. He was friendly to all humans he met. Chito enjoyed being pet and hugged. Then he'd walk away for a bit and come back for more loving. He displayed no handling sensitivities, and was comfortable being touched on the head and body. He appears potty trained. Chito met small and large dogs, and appeared indifferent.

Almost every day, you move mountains to bring them home.
Sometimes, locally.
Sometimes, from a distance.
Sometimes, you don't take no for an answer.
And distance becomes irrelevant.
You are the longhaul adopters. ❤️

Mike, from Louisville Kentucky, saw Ginger, former resident of Rio Grande City Animal Control Department, fell in love, and knew what must be done.
1300 miles later, Ginger (now known as Vida) & Mike are almost home, together. ❤️

Thank you Mike, for reminding us they are worth every mile.
Thank you for doing the extraordinary.
Thank you for being her new Dad. ❤️
