Government Offices City

There are new animal control workers now. Both are friends with the mayor. Seems that is the only way to be employed at the city is to be a friend to someone or family. The Mayor and Aldermens need to take an interest in the animal shelter and work to improve the structure of the building ,to develop pet adoption programs and to take advantage of the free pet adoption web site like petfinder.com. The city needs to start a spay/neuter program for the animal shelter. The majority of the animals entering into the Smithville Animal Control Facility never leave it alive. I plead with you to adopt from this shelter for you are the only chance these animals have. more

No one cares about this shelter. The poor unfortunate animals that goes in this shelter will be put to death. Chances of adoption is virtually none. Anyone visiting this shelter has two major complaints: No one is ever there and it literally stinks/smells. The two animal control officers are two old men that will tell you out front they do not want volunteers to help as they will just get in the way. This shelter desperately needs a major overhaul. It needs animal control officers that actually cares about animals and that take pride it cleanness. It needs individuals that will go in and start up adoption programs, seek out grant money to improve the shelter, to encourage volunteers to work/help at the shelter, to seek donations for this shelter. I would encourage anyone and everyone to adopt an animal from this shelter for you would be their only chance at life. more
