Use caution when opening attachments or links. <br /> <br /> <br />Dear fellow citizens, are county facilities still operating under COVID restrictions? The answer may <br />surprise you. <br /> <br />Sure, county government won’t ADMIT that it’s keeping some COVID restrictions in place. It’s just <br />calling them something else. <br /> <br />In 2020, OC Animal Care (the county animal shelter under contract to this fair city) suspended public <br />access. Visits were only by appointment. A lot of shelters did that… but then returned to normal <br />operation in 2022. <br /> <br />OC Animal Care kept the restrictions in place. It said they made the shelter safer. Wrong. Read in Voice <br />of OC: <br />https://voiceofoc.org/2023/11/mavrovouniotis-the-oc-animal-shelter-lied-about-its-safety-record-it- <br />needed-an-excuse-to-keep-the-kennels-off-limits-and-ditch-its-strategic-plan/ <br /> <br />Then it changed its tune and said that these restrictions help adoptions. Weird. And wrong.

Your city council can press OC Animal Care for a complete return to <br />pre-COVID practices. <br /> <br />County government has made a mess of the shelter and keeps you in the dark. Incompetent managers <br />don’t like public scrutiny. Stay informed on OCShelter.com <br />1 <br />
