 are not good and they don't like the facility." 



"I called on the phone to ask the hours the shelter was open to the 



public. Although I did not identify myself, they were uncooperative, 

 responding, "Why do you want to know that?" 



"There are no official hours. The dog warden 1s on duty from 8 am to 5 

 pm." 



"The shelter has no telephone. You have to contact the sheriff's 

 department." 



Sanitation 



"Although the shelter was open, there was a terrible stench to the area. 

 There were many flies." 



"The animals are now buried at the landfill. To our knowledge no lime is 

 used but the bodies are supposedly covered with dirt daily. We have 

 never gotten an answer to our questions about what they do in the 

 winter when the ground is frozen."
