Are animals euthanized because of the limitations of the current building?
We care for more than 11,000 animals a year in a building designed for 2,500 a year. That type of overcrowding combined with an outdated and overtaxed ventilation system means that diseases like upper respiratory infection and bordetella (kennel cough) are nearly impossible to contain. The building has almost no space to isolate sick animals. To prevent suffering and the spread of disease, we are sometimes forced to make difficult decisions about animals.
