COMMUNITY ALERT/ AWARENESS ⚠️ 💚🔊🗯️RC COMMUNITY AVAS/Apple Valley Animal Shelter needs immediate reform! PLEASE take a few moments to email/demand change at this shelter. This cannot continue! We must fight the system currently in place and help these animals! They are depending on us. Thank you everyone.🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻💚
Link to Apple Valley Facebook networking page above.
Format: Cat lovers… the Apple Valley Animal Shelter, probably one of the worst shelters in the entire U.S. with a save rate of 7% (in 2023 for cats) has further eroded people’s ability to try and save cats (and dogs). The shelter now restricted access to Kennel cards. The shelter refuses to give out a pending euthanasia list. The kennel cards were the only way to give a short window of time to try and save an animal.
Can you send an email protesting this? here is a draft email regarding the kennel card public access revocation.

RESTORE PUBLIC KENNEL CARD ACCESS ON TOAV WEBSITE
Text:
To Whom It May Concern:
It has come to my attention that on the evening of September 19, 2024, public kennel card access on the Town of Apple Valley Animal Services “Adoptable Animals” website was deactivated. I respectfully request that public kennel card access be immediately restored.
- Public kennel card access was revoked so AVAS can conceal euthanasia
I appreciate your prompt attention to this serious matter.
Sincerely,
[Your name]

BOOST! The problem need to be addressed at its source and this is a good start. Boost boost boost! Also I’m saving these statistics to show the next random redditor who is all “don’t villainize the kill shelter, blah blah blah”.
