Ryan said on the first day of the job, there were 400 animals in the building. Dogs in the back weren’t getting walked at all. Enrichment was really, really bad, Ryan said. She also said the shelter was so full, there were really big dogs in small cages.
Staff morale was low, there was hostility between volunteers and staff, and hostility between shelters and rescues. Rescues were refusing to pull from the shelter. The main issue that I saw was staff were overworked and overwhelmed and there were too many animals for the staff that they had, Ryan added.
She also explained the euthanasia numbers were concerning.
