The Lost Dogs Home again achieves what can only be described as a glacial rate of operational improvement…
Highlights include;
– that they finally managed to adopt out more dogs than they kill (two years running – woo!)… but only by a smidge.
– that 70% – or seven out of every ten – cat intakes still end up in the incinerator.
– the 656 cats going somewhere ‘other’ (which could include rescue, but this is unspecified).
Thank dog for the community pressure dragging this bloated, underachieving blight on Australia’s animal welfare world into the 21st century. At this rate success is a mere decades away.
To say Lost Dogs Home is doing a good job, is wrong. If they were doing a good job no percentage of animals would be put to sleep. If a Company was running at such a bad loss, the CEO would be given their marching orders. Innovation and positive changes, as with GAWS, is necessary and achievable.Why don’t the LDH just get with the program and stop living in centuries past. Such droconian ideals. New management, a new team might be one of the solutions here. Maybe LDH management needs to step aside a let a compassionate and knowledge team take over.
Do it now and hopefully more lives will have a chance to live the full lives they deserve!
