Good morning,
I am deeply concerned for the safety and well being of the animals at San Bernardino Animal Services. The recent
distemper outbreak which was over a month ago seems to have not made any progress and their solution is to JUST
KILL. Over 100 dogs lost their lives just in the month of May. One unnecessary death is too much. I’ve been
advocating for the dogs at SBC for approx 2 years in which I have watched the shelter go to extremes not to work
with us and save lives. Constant roadblocks to networkers, advocates, adopters and fosters. The community came
together to help the shelter test the dogs so that they wouldn’t be automatically killed for POSSIBLE EXPOSURE.
Over 100 tests were donated and yet they claim they don’t have the resources. We were also promised new kennels
June 2025 and still nothing. Why would they take on 3 additional jurisdictions without being prepared to house
these dogs? Killing is not the solution yet it’s theirs. Please help these innocent animals.
Sincerely,
Jackie Spooner
