Dead Dogs Walking - Proof that San Diego Humane Society's Behavioral Assessments Are Not Fair

In January 2010, San Diego Humane Society (SDHS) took over management of North County Humane Society in Oceanside, CA, now referred to as SDHS - North Campus. Since the merger, more dogs have been killed due to poor and unfair behavioral assessments. SDHS claims that they have not 'euthanized' a 'healthy' & 'treatable' dog in the last 10 yrs. The dogs featured in this montage that I put together were deemed 'untreatable' based on SDHS' behavioral assessments. Just watch this slideshow and see the number of dogs saved from death at SDHS - North Campus that turned out to have no issues and what any dog-loving person would normally deem healthy and treatable. There needs to be more fairness in how these assessments are conducted. There is no consideration taken that the dog is scared and/or suffering from some illness which is quite common when they are assessed. Also, on 9/12/10, SDHS announced that they would not be renewing their Animal Control contract with the city of Oceanside putting more stray animals in jeopardy. Dr. Mark Goldstein from SDHS says that they will focus more on educating people on spay/neuter and being a good pet owner to help decrease the homeless animal population. With a $15M/annual budget and senior management receiving 6 figure salaries, shouldn't a 'humane' society tackle the problem from both sides? i.e. education, spay/neuter, saving/rehabilitating strays, actively working with ALL rescues to insure more animals are rehomed. SDHS is missing the 'Mark' on being fair to animals. Don't give SDHS your money. If you want to help them, volunteer or adopt an animal from there. And always remember, DON'T BREED AND BUY WHILE SHELTER ANIMALS DIE!

It was time to expose the truth that healthy/treatable dogs are dying even though SDHS and Dr. Mark want to turn a blind eye to it. Please watch and ask yourself, 'would my dog have made it out alive?'

Thanks for caring,
Kay Wright

What do any of you know about Julie Bank. She is running Animal Care and Control of NYC. Into the ground. Please let us know anything we should know.

@lbleier Julie's just as bad as Mark. She sold out to SDHS in interest of money and not the animals and then moved on to cause havoc in another city. She is in it for her own power and not for the animals. Plain and simple as that. I have provided No Kill New York with some info on Julie as they asked for it.

[Disposable5]

If anyone needs Information on or about the San Diego Humane Society...I have enough dirt on these pppl n this facility to satisfy any need...Ex employee...left because of these killings, will supply truthful information to help 'out' the wrong doings of this orginization. Enough is enough, the ramifications SDHS has faced in the past year has been rough, but not nearly enough to cause a change in how oporations are run. Healthy dogs Are PTS weekly, pleas from educated are thrown aside.

This makes me so sad, we rescued a pit bull about 9 months ago. When we got her she was extremely shy, but never showed any aggression. We've been working with her, and now she is a healthy and happy dog. She's wonderful with our 5 year old daughter, and I hate to think that if we had taken her to a shelter, the way she was, she probably would have been killed. Unreal.
