MCAS needs to spay/neuter all dogs before adoption, especially the females (and ensure that the dogs are given adequate care and recovery time!) Adopting intact dogs to new homes is grossly irresponsible in our current homeless dog crisis. EVEN POOR counties with a much smaller budget for animal control are ensuring that the dogs are spayed/neutered prior to adoption. Management is failing the animals and the community.possible Solution? - lease/create an offsite space and hire part-time well- qualified Veterinarians and qualified volunteers to help out. Provide safe spay/neuter and provide a safe recovery space so all adoptable animals are spay/neutered before they go to new homes. More veterinarians would be willing to help, if they were given more autonomy, and if they could work away from the animal shelter.
"SHARONA" is Available for adoption at Multnomah County Animal Services!
