Orozco, Norma From: Sharon Logan <eurasiangal77@gmail.com> Sent: Thursday, May 11, 2023 1:56 PM To: eComment Subject: OC Animal Care Good Afternoon Ladies and Gentlemen, My name is Sharon Logan of Logan vs. OC Animal Care, I have been advocating for Shelter Reform at OC Animal Care since 2012. I would like to discuss why the the shelter is only open for adoption through an appointment based system and all the misinformation around surrounding the appointment based model. We have always been factual in posting about OC Animal Care as the community has been reading our posts since 2012. One thing we do know and understand is the policies and procedures at OC Animal Care, who, how and why are implementing these procedures, Logan vs OC Animal Care forced OC Animal Care to change a number or rewrite their numerous policies. The current polices and procedures currently implemented at OC Animal Care are what is recommended by the big National Organizations that animal shelters all across the nation are implementing and utilizing, this is not just happening at OC Animal Care, this is happening at tax payer funded municipal funded shelters all across the nation. You can read about the most recent article by the Voice of OC here called are appointment only policies in animal shelters across America driving up kill rates, what is happening at OC Animal Care is happening nationally at animal shelters all across the U.S due to policies and procedures peddled by the big box national organizations like Best Friends, HASS and Austin Pets Alive. https://voiceofoc.org/2023/05/are-appointment-only-policies-in-animal-shelters-across-america-driving_up-kill- rates/?fbclid=IwAR3 oZrdJZvret6Q25tK7uVVQjvLGuzazUdj mFdUmGdXtRVoJOv5EIVLeZ04&mibextid=Zxz 2cZ Groups like Best Friends Animal Society HASS and Austin Pets Alive are among the voices advocating for appointment -based approaches to adoption and making other COVID-19 policies permanent. The big National Animal Welfare Organizations like Best Friends is peddling bad advice to animal shelters telling animal shelters to leave animals, dogs and cats on the street and to close their doors to the general public. This is where OC Animal Care is getting their updated policies and procedures from. Santa Ana does not need to spend any more money for animal services, Santa Ana needs to tell OC Animal Care to do the job that Santa Ana is paying OC Animal Care to do and service the animals from Santa Ana that come into OC Animal Care, which includes spay and neuter.
