Maybe county needs guardians for animals

It's morning, I am just reading the paper and am furious at someone in this county but don't know who. I read Barbara Germain's letter (Jan. 26) about the dog left chained in the cold with no decent house, and I am sure no food or water. Who is responsible for overseeing this problem?

I'm so tired of our (and they are ours because we, the taxpayers, pay them) county employees passing the buck. If she complained to Animal Control and nothing happened for weeks, how dare they refuse to give her information on the case?

I, too, would like to know where the buck stops, and how to volunteer to assist with this problem. I've been a guardian ad litem for children; maybe we need a similar program for animals

Check with the Animal Shelter. They may know where you can volunteer.

There is a wonderful website dogsdeservebetter.org with loads of information on how to help. I have the same problem in my neighborhood and was wondering if there is a way for those who care about this issue in this community to somehow band together. The laws need to be changed and then somehow enforced. Like minds can get things accomplished.
