Good afternoon Josh,

I have a phone call and voicemail from you. Unfortunately your voice was very low or it did not record
properly. May I help you with something?
Thank you,

Gil,
I was calling about Brownie, a male pit-mix with the ID# 4709410 that was killed on the morning of 6/4. I was
told by numerous people that Brownie had an IP in place and that IP was never called, and also that Brownie
had an adopter there onsite that was waiting to get him to only then be told that he was euthanized earlier in the
morning.
Coincidentally, I was also there on 6/4 taking photos, a little later in the day, and I personally counted 39 empty
kennels. So why wasnt Brownies interested party communicated with? And secondly, why does the shelter
kill with so many empty kennels clearly available? By my count that is almost 1/3
rd
of the entire shelter.

Good morning Josh,
Brownie came in on May 15, 2014. An IP requested a temp test. Temp test resulted in a C. The IP turned into
a CTA. Two days later, the CTA called to cancel his CTA. Brownie sat here for almost two more weeks without
any interest or holds.
Having empty cages can mean anything from large transports the morning of or special offsite adoption events.
We also have to be prepared to handle a large impound when we serve warrants at hoarding locations. There
are numerous reasons why we need to have empty cages. If you see a large number of them, its because we
need to keep some open for our contract cities animal control agencies or what I explained above.
I hope this answers your questions. Please give my best to Dianne.

Gil,
I have someone that is stating that they found a family for Brownie that then came in and visited and put a CTA
on him at the end of May. When they came again with the intention of picking him up they were told that he
had been killed prior to that mornings opening because he was sick. They have video of him from the day
before playing in the yard, acting happy.
Regarding the empty kennels, you are the manager so you could surely speak to whether there were any
transports or offsite activity for this time period. 39 empty kennels is well over a third of the public shelter
space actually, I underestimated.
I understand the many potential reasons that you gave for the empty space but you didnt exactly account for it,
you just threw out every reason as to why you may have had/needed some space. Am I to believe that you did a
morning transport, held an offsite adoption event and busted a hoarder all on this same day? If you did a
morning transport thats all the more reason for you not to be killing the same morning, as it frees up space for
good and not just temporarily for a dog that will be coming back, right?
It is not okay to have 1/3
rd
of your shelter empty and still be killing dogs that same morning. That just makes no
sense at all.
