2. Adoption of the Minutes • Adoption of the October 16, 2014 Meeting Minutes Ms. Schwerin pointed out the October 16, 2014 minutes refer to a typo in the September 18, 2014 minutes being corrected and requested to see the correction. Correction detail will be provided for the next meeting. Ms. Schwerin referred to Item 7 of the October 16, 2014 minutes and requested her citing of code authority to confiscate animals, in response to a question from Mr. Jacobs, be included in the minutes. The motion was made and seconded (Hubbard/Kaluzniacki) that the October 16, 2014 meeting minutes be adopted as written with the addition requested by Ms. Schwerin. The motion carried (10-0).

3. Call to the Audience There were three speakers at this call to the audience: Mariana Parker, Tiffany Rosler and Terri Goddard. Ms. Parker, a volunteer at PACC, first thanked Mr. Ocano for his efforts in getting a large number of confiscated cats spayed and neutered and many placed in homes. Ms. Parker said many rescue

organizations are not happy with PACC. They are not being notified properly. If a pregnant dog comes in In the Arms of Angels wants to be notified and would be happy to take it, given a 72 hour notice. There are seven dogs on the urgent list, but there are empty kennels in the tent. Ms. Parker questioned why dogs have to die when there are empty kennels. Ms. Rosler said she was misquoted in the October minutes; it was a member of the public trying to adopt who was turned away twice because the dog that was still listed as pregnant, not a rescue partner as the draft minutes stated. Ms. Rosler then read a letter from Heather Binnie, who is a volunteer at PACC and who has attended a number of PACC meetings focused on reducing euthanasia. The letter was about a white pitbull she observed barking in the kennel on November 5th. Ms. Binnie stopped to talk to the dog, but it didn’t stop barking or even look at her. There was a tag that said the dog was named Odie and was deaf. Ms. Binnie thought the dog was probably also blind. She carefully touched Odie and she stopped barking. When she stopped touching her Odie started barking again. Odie needed human contact. Odie came in on the 2nd and was evaluated on the 5th. Ms. Binnie briefly discussed the dog’s evaluation with Simmone. Ms. Binnie put a through-the-fence picture of Odie on Facebook and started networking on Odie’s behalf. She received lots of interest and Ms. Binnie went to get a better picture of Odie on the 6th, but couldn’t find her and was told she was probably getting spayed. The next day Ms. Binnie went back to PACC to get the better picture and Michelle informed her Odie was put down. Michelle said Odie was stressed and would not stop barking. Ms. Binnie asked Michelle about the dog being deaf and blind. Michelle said there was no indication Odie was blind. Ms. Binnie told Michelle that Odie had been networked on Facebook and that this is not going to look good. Michelle said to avoid this, do not pre-network animals that have not been evaluated, but Ms. Binnie said she discussed the evaluation with Simmone. Michelle said not to network animals that have not been approved by her or Justin and that the evaluation staff doesn’t decide whether an animal lives or dies. Odie’s owner had died and the next of kin could not keep her. Ms. Binnie was in shock and called Terri Goddard of Cold Wet Noses, who spoke with Michelle, who reportedly admitted that Odie was blind. Saving Odie could have garnered praise and support for PACC. Ms. Binnie has attended focus groups on how to save more dogs. Hours are spent in these meetings, but nothing has come from all the input. How hard would it have been to make a few phone calls for a blind and deaf dog? Ms. Goddard, from Tucson Cold Wet Nose, said she has been rescuing from PACC for nine years. There have been a lot of disappointments lately and Ms. Goddard said she had e-mailed PACC rescue staff five “preventable points” which she believes can save animal lives at PACC. The e-mail was sent over five weeks ago. The five points are requests for: a once a week list of seniors; a once a week list of small special needs dogs; a heads up on dogs in distress at least once a week; 72 hour notice before aborting dogs or cats and immediate notification on possibly pregnant, pregnant and mothers with babies; and when a purebred animal comes into PACC that information gets to the rescue coordinator / rescue staff so they can contact purebred rescue organizations. Since the e-mail was sent, November 12 was the first time any of these requested changes were implemented, and the immediate notifications on possibly pregnant, pregnant and animals with babies still haven’t been implemented, nor have the purebred notifications. Ms. Goddard vented frustration regarding these changes taking so long. She said in April 2013 a meeting was held wherein it was agreed upon that there would be immediate notice on possibly pregnant, pregnant and animals with babies and a 72 hour window before pregnant mothers’ babies are aborted. Once an agreement was made it should have been adhered to. A new early networking of high risk animals has been implemented; however,


they are placed on a lengthy daily list. Ms. Goddard appreciates the daily list, but feels animals at high risk for euthanasia should be on a separate e-mailed list. She also said she has experienced resistance to change in dealing with PACC rescue staff.

4. Manager’s Report Kim Janes, Pima Animal Care Center Chief of External Affairs, reported that Proposition 415 to build a modern animal shelter passed at the recent election. He pointed out a September 23, 2014 Pima Animal Care Center Cost to Municipalities memorandum from County Administrator Huckelberry in the Committee’s packet as a reference for Mr. Huckelberry using the term “policy of non-euthanasia” as was mentioned at the last Committee meeting. Also included in the packet was a sample of Mr. Huckelberry’s November 4, 2014 Board of Supervisors Communication Regarding Pima Animal Care Center Financing and Legal Opinion Regarding County Obligations letter to the local cities and towns and a copy of Mr. Huckelberry’s November 18 County Obligation for Animal Care Services Inside Cities and Towns Board of Supervisors Memorandum, wherein Mr. Huckelberry recommended the Board waive privilege regarding the County Attorney’s legal opinion regarding County obligations for provision of animal care services inside cities and towns. Mr. Janes reported privilege was waived on November 18 and he would forward the opinion to the Committee. On November 14 County staff met with city and town representatives regarding funding and support and there is a bit of disagreement on what the municipalities are willing and able to fund; these discussions will continue. Mr. Neuman asked about, on the October monthly report, why the year-to-date euthanasia “other” number was up compared to last year’s; and Mr. Janes replied that the number includes DOAs picked up which is the primary reason for the increase. Mr. Neuman also asked about the decrease in enforcement responses; and Mr. Janes replied the decrease has to do with the nature of calls and staff vacancies, which were held up recently due to an automated management system switch over. Mr. Neuman referred to correspondence from Mr. Huckelberry regarding the Committee’s request for more staffing, wherein Mr. Huckelberry tied staffing to fiscal support from municipalities; and Mr. Neuman asked if this translate into a similar dynamic with other departments where staffing is tied to funding from cities and towns. Mr. Janes pointed out that discussions with the municipalities are in early stages and then discussed that PACC is largely unique in that services are tied to governmental agreements, in contrast to most other programs that are not because the authorities and/or responsibilities are codified as assigned solely to the County.

5. Old Business • Update on July 19, 2014 Motion for Resolution for PACC to Remedy Issues Relating to the Care

and Welfare of Pets at PACC – Operations

Mr. Neuman referred to the original motion and past discussion on how staffing was cited as the reason why the 22 items haven’t been accomplished. He said there is frustration among the volunteers and pointed out that the adoption program is mostly comprised of volunteers. He added that the volunteer influence is high because they are doing most of the work; and one way for staff to have more control is to not have volunteers so entrenched, doing almost everything. Mr. Neuman asked Shelter Manager Jose Ocano for an update on progress on the 22 item resolution. Mr. Ocano said staffing hasn’t changed, but there have been a number of positive changes. The shelter has transitioned from State inmates to female County inmates for sanitation. The new inmate


workers have better attention to detail and are more compassionate. The shelter is cleaner than it has been for years. The County inmates are supervised and trained by a Senior Corrections Custodian. With the State inmates the shelter supervisors were constantly pulled away to train or direct inmates. This news dynamic requires less involvement by shelter supervisors, who are therefore freed up to perform their duties. Mr. Ocano said he now also supervises the clinic and the clinic supervisor is being moved to the shelter. There was a meeting with volunteers on kennel cards, and a new system has just been implemented. He said PACC still has more animals than can be cared for and things still get missed, but things are improving. Kristin Barney, Chief of Operations, added that the clinic supervisor change is an example of staff looking for ways to restructure to be more efficient. She added that things don’t typically change immediately, but that is not because management doesn’t care; it just takes time to get better which is what everyone wants. Mr. Neuman acknowledged that PACC is definitely short staffed compared to other similarly situated operations.

• Vet Holds and Confiscation Holds – Processes, Procedures and Ways to Shorten Length of Hold

Time (Chair Neuman/PACC Management Team)

Ms. Schwerin referred to discussion on this topic during the last Committee meeting wherein Dr. Lilley said felony cases take longer. Ms. Schwerin contended this shouldn’t be the case; there are no laws requiring such; and asserted that these animals coming from an abusive situation then ending up in a lengthy hold amounts to double suffering. Mr. Janes replied that animals in felony cases generally have more severe issues which take longer to recover from and it takes longer to build the case. He added that forensically there are issues such as the chain of evidence and credibility of evidence that are better served by keeping the animal at PACC. Ms. Schwerin said she admires PACC’s record on court cases and added that the courts trust what PACC officers say and the details they record, so it isn’t necessary to keep the animals physically at PACC. Mr. Neuman said he didn’t understand much of why animals are on the holds report. Mr. Janes spent time breaking down what all the numbers mean and some of the sequences of events related to holds. Many of the holds are on animals with enforcement issues being held for the mandatory three to seven days depending on whether or not it is owned. If an owner does not come forth during the mandatory hold time, then the animal is released for adoption. One of the challenges in understanding the report is that the report is just a snapshot of holds when the report was run and does not include what happened since; then once the hold is resolved it is dropped from the report and the Committee doesn’t see the outcome. Mr. Janes explained the two vet holds. One was a cat that died and the hold should have been deleted then, and the other is a dead skunk and PACC is waiting on results from a rabies test. In response to a question Mr. Janes indicated that the owner, in a mass impound case on the report, served with a bond on November 13 has until November 23 to pay the bond. Mr. Janes acknowledged that the Committee’s interest in the holds has caused staff to look more closely at processes and things are being attended to more closely. In response to a question Mr. Neuman acknowledged the current hold list is noticeably smaller than those in the past. Ms. Schwerin revisited her concern about animals being held in felony cases and said that officers’ testimonies and pictures do a good job in court. Mr. Janes said there is great benefit in showing what it takes to rehabilitate an animal and the current practice was requested by attorneys. However, staff will visit with our attorneys regarding Ms. Schwerin’s concerns. Mr. Neuman suggested foster especially in cases where the evidence is the weight of the animal. Mr. Jacobs said if a judge orders PACC to keep an animal, then there is no choice; and if a prosecutor requests such, then in his opinion we should do as requested. Ms. Hubbard said when the detectives say hang onto an animal then her


organization does so; but added that they do have some special fosters who are familiar with special expectations such as bringing the animal to court. There were questions and concerns about the length of time an animal is held in these cases and comments on delays that drag these cases out. Mr. Neuman requested this item be on next month’s agenda. • Committee's Request to Add Additional Field Officers and Shelter Staff This item was touched on briefly under the Manager’s Report, item 4.

6. New Business • Rescue Program Ms. Hubbard related an incident that happened about eight years ago wherein the Sheriff’s Department, PACC and the Humane Society of Southern Arizona collaborated on a horrible hording case involving over 800 dogs. Most of the dogs were females and most of them were pregnant or lactating. In response to this case veterinary collaborators worked tirelessly to get the pregnant dogs spayed before they could have puppies. Ms. Hubbard stated that she cannot understand why PACC allows pregnant dogs to go out to foster, saying, “Your job is prevention.” Ms. Schwerin said she agreed completely. Kristin Barney, Chief of Operations, said there has been considerable discussion on this topic over the past six weeks or so; acknowledged it is tough topic; and acknowledged that many shelters feel the way Ms. Hubbard feels. Ms. Hubbard stressed it’s not a feeling; it’s a job; it’s prevention. Ms. Barney said staff would be open to listen to the Committee’s input and is moving toward a decision. Ms. Hubbard said, “There is no decision to make; your job is prevention; your job is to keep these animals from being born.” She acknowledged that groups want to save lives, but added that they don’t have 24,000 animals to manage every year. Dr. Kaluzniacki added that in her work with the Animal League of Green Valley her policy is to immediately spay any pregnant dog. If the puppies are viable, then fine, if not, then she is in agreement with Ms. Hubbard. Dr. Smith asked how close to term puppies are viable. Dr. Kaluzniacki said pregnancies are about nine weeks and puppies can survive at about eight weeks. Mr. Ocano interjected that he sometimes goes against his professional opinion to appease rescues and volunteers. Ms. Barney said PACC is trying to be respectful with valuable rescue partners and volunteers, but has recently received a threatening e-mail and has been called names and cursed at for decisions PACC is attempting to make. She requested that a Code of Conduct Agreement be put on next month’s agenda; acknowledged that communications have broken down; and said she wants to establish respectful communications from all sides. Dr. Francisco García, Health Department Director, said there is a struggle to balance input from volunteers, rescue groups, the Advisory Committee and other stakeholders and what limits should be in place needs to be enshrined in policy. Dr. García provided a handout at the meeting and referred to the “big picture.” The handout included charts and figures showing since year 2010/2011 adoptions have increased 57 percent and special needs adoptions have increased by 109 percent. The role of rescue has evolved over the same time period. The total number of animals rescued has gone down, but the number of rescue partners working with PACC has increased. Individual rescue groups make decisions on their priorities and what animals they can take and network. Dr. García said that as policy evolves some things will have to be off the table and the pregnant pets issue is likely to be one of those items. There have been struggles with Chameleon (PACC’s electronic management system)


and IT to try to give rescues access to information so they can find out what animals are available, within a well-defined set of policies and procedures. He stressed the main priorities as decreasing intake and increasing adoptions. Dr. García has attended meetings facilitated by No Kill Pima County in which a number of ideas were exchanged. Staff now needs to decide what ideas are feasible and impactful for PACC. There was discussion on whom, including PACC staff and/or the Committee, should take what actions to establish a policy. Dr. García said staff has a draft; has been getting stakeholder input; and will have the draft ready for the next meeting. Ms. Schwerin replied to Dr. García’s comment about decreasing intake and increasing adoptions. She said one way intakes are being decreased is by leaving animals with abusive owners and referred to welfare cases in the packet. She indicated a count of 52 citations issued for the ten Committee packet cases, but most of the animals were allowed to remain with the owners. Regarding increasing adoptions, she said new adopters are not screened well enough to ensure animals go to a suitable home and cited a packet welfare case that was an animal acquired from PACC. She recommended massive spay and neutering, specifically requiring all pit bulls be spayed and neutered, and more broadly, that laws require all dogs and cats be spayed and neutered. The motion was made and seconded (Jacobs/Kaluzniacki) that the rescue discussion be tabled until the next meeting. The motion carried (11-0). After the vote Mr. Neuman stated that people can send him opinions on the current topic for inclusion in the next meeting’s packet. • Criteria required for PACC to Respond and Investigate a Service/Welfare Issue Wherein an

Animal is in Distress Ms. Emptage related an experience wherein a dog with rectal bleeding was at a veterinary facility and the veterinarian recommended euthanasia. The owner had no money and wanted to take the dog home to say good-by, but the animal was clearly in distress. Ms. Emptage offered to be present for the euthanasia, but the owner said they could handle it without her. Ms. Emptage offered to have the animal cremated at a pet cemetery and the owner agreed. Ms. Emptage filed a report with PACC. The next day she found out the dog was taken home and the owner had given a false address. Per Mr. Janes, PACC staff had followed up with the clinic, but spoke to someone other than the treating veterinarian, who inaccurately indicated that the situation was not very bad. The point of the discussion was, what can be done when someone sees an animal in distress? Mr. Janes indicated that anyone can call in to report an animal in distress and PACC will investigate; he added that getting the information to the supervisor is the best course of action. PACC enforcement is still investigating the case discussed, but does not have an address. In response to questions, Enforcement Supervisor Jose Chavez said that applicable neglect citations would be issued to the animal’s owner regardless of where the animal ends up, and that a search warrant could be sought to help bring the dog forward.

7. Animal Welfare and Dangerous Animal Cases for the Month of October and Recent Holds Snapshot Ms. Schwerin referred to welfare case three, in which there were ten citations for ten animals without water and the owner relinquished all but two of the animals. She asked why the owner was allowed to keep the two and if they were spayed and/or neutered. Mr. Janes said that the owner showed some responsibility and appeared to have too many animals for him to handle so he kept just the two. Mr. Janes also said he would check to confirm on the spay/neuter question. Ms. Schwerin asked about


whether or not redeemed animals are spayed and neutered; and Mr. Janes replied that owners are given an option to redeem their animal intact, but they pay much higher fees. Mr. Neuman said the Committee had in the past recommended that all animals that end up at PACC be spayed or neutered. Mr. Janes acknowledged that direction was recommended, but said it requires an ordinance that he and Ms. Schwerin have been working on. Ms. Schwerin said they hope to have the ordinance done by the end of the year. On welfare case five, which involved three dogs and a duck; two animals were euthanized and two were adopted, Ms. Schwerin asked which animals were adopted. Mr. Janes will check. In welfare case seven a dog was found dead; it was tied out in the sun as punishment. Ms. Schwerin asked why this wasn’t a felony case. Mr. Janes said that if it is not a felony now, that option is still open and the County Attorney can take that route. Mr. Neuman questioned why the second dog, Goofy, was left with the owner; and Ms. Emptage contended that the owner in this case should not be allowed to own animals for as long as is legally permitted. Mr. Janes said he would discuss the ownership ban recommendation with the prosecuting attorney and he would have someone check on the second dog. Ms. Schwerin pointed out that the dog in welfare case eight, which was on a tie out and jumped the fence, was adopted from PACC. Ms. Barrick added that tie outs are an on-going problem, are illegal, and there needs to be some type of education. Ms. Emptage pointed out that it is not illegal to sell tie outs, but she hoped to gain some leverage to influence stores to not sell tie outs or at least post information that they are illegal. Mr. Marshall said he had talked to the General Manager of Petco about tie outs and was told they would not change their displays. Ms. Emptage requested an agenda item for next month regarding an ordinance requiring posted signage about tie outs being illegal. Ms. Schwerin referred to welfare case ten as an example of how well the officers document a terrible situation. She asked about the follow up welfare check and Mr. Janes said it was conducted unannounced and the owner was found to be in compliance. Ms. Schwerin asked about how many welfare cases there are and how the ten given to the Committee are selected. Mr. Janes said there were 2,404 enforcement calls last month, but those include waste and noise complaints. Enforcement selects ten cases they feel are representative of what they see in the field.

8. Donations: A total of 1,263 individuals gave $39,086.28 in donations during the month of October. Mr. Neuman commented that the donations now are far beyond the few thousands PACC was receiving a few years ago.

9. Complaints and Commendations: There were three complaints and no commendations received by staff during October. There was no discussion on this item.

10. Call to the Audience

There were three speakers at this call to the audience: Karen Pope, Tiffany Rosler and Terri Goddard. Ms. Pope said she has been a foster with In the Arms of Angels for the last year and a half. Her family takes pregnant moms from PACC one at a time. Mother and puppies are all spayed or neutered and vaccinated, and then the animals are adopted out by the rescue organization through a strong application process. They only place dogs as indoor pets. Ms. Pope said she agrees that spay abort is better than having puppies born at PACC, but through a home environment healthy spayed and neutered puppies are able to go to households that could have purchased unaltered, unvaccinated pets


from breeders with hundreds of dogs. She said they are asking for 72 hours noticed to give these dogs a chance. So far her family has helped five mothers and 48 puppies and kittens. Ms. Rosler said she agreed with Ms. Pope. She didn’t feel PACC was a safe environment for puppies, but fosters with one mother per home are safe. Ms. Rosler related that she adopted a puppy from PACC in 2009 and it died a month later of distemper. She said she got into rescue specifically to help pregnant animals so someone like her, who doesn’t want to purchase from a breeder or puppy mill, has the option to adopt a rescue puppy. Ms. Goddard said she was responding to Dr. García saying rescue is down. She said, in her opinion, rescue is down because of the attitude of, and lack of communication from, the Rescue Coordinator. Ms. Goddard said she used to only rescue from PACC, but now rescues from Pinal County, Maricopa County and Wilcox because they communicate and go the extra mile. She added that she believes special needs adoptions are up because of efforts by the volunteers and rescues, not rescue staff.

11. Announcements, Schedules and Proposed Agenda Items Mr. Janes announced that PACC’s holiday dog walk is on, beginning at 8:30 on Thanksgiving Day. There were a number of proposed agenda items requested throughout the meeting.

12. Next Meeting – December 18, 2014

Due to the crowded attendance at the November meeting and interest expressed in the December meeting, the motion was made and seconded (Emptage/Marshall) that the December meeting be held at the Abrams building. The motion carried (11-0).

Pima County Animal Care Advisory Committee Minutes October 16, 2014 4000 N. Silverbell Rd. Tucson, Arizona 85745 1. Call to Order

Mr. Emptage called the meeting to order at 5:31 pm • Attendance Present: Nancy Emptage, Vice-Chair, Animal Welfare Coalition Pat Hubbard, Humane Society of Southern Arizona Pat Jacobs, Tucson Kennel Club Derek Marshall, Public Education Helen Mendelsohn, Disabled Community Jane Schwerin, People for Animals in the Prevention of Cruelty and Neglect Gail Smith, MD, Board of Health Kim Janes, Pima Animal Care Center, Ex-Offico Absent: Tamara Barrick, Foundation for Animals in Risk Sophia Kaluzniacki, DVM, ASPCA of AZ, Inc Jack Neuman, Chair, PACC Volunteers Erin O'Donnell, DVM, Southern AZ Veterinary Medical Association Angela Spencer, City of Tucson • Pledge of Allegiance

2. Adoption of the Minutes • Adoption of the September 18, 2014 Meeting Minutes Ms. Emptage pointed out one typo. The motion was made and seconded (Hubbard/Smith) that the September 18, 2014 meeting minutes be adopted as written, with typo corrected. The motion carried (6-0).

3. Call to the Audience Kim Silver addressed the Committee regarding the relationship between the Pima Animal Care Center and rescue organizations. Per No Kill Pima County, the 2012 rescue rate was 12 percent of PACC animals, but currently the rate is down to nine percent. PACC’s animal numbers are at an all-time high. With increased medical care and a budding foster program PACC staff implies that rescue numbers should be declining. Ms. Silver disagrees and thinks rescue numbers should be increasing. She expressed that PACC should provide job descriptions, as were requested more than once, for positions such as Live Release Manager and Rescue Coordinator, which imply certain functions to the public. She asserted that the current Rescue Coordinator’s functions are drastically different that the former’s.

Draft

Pima County Animal Care Advisory Committee Minutes October 16, 2014 Page 2 of 5

Ms. Silver said feedback from rescue partners Tucson Cold Wet Noses (TCWN) and In the Arms of Angels (AOA) indicates the consensus among rescue partners is that it is difficult to work with PACC and receive accurate information regarding PACC animals. The previous Rescue Coordinator sent out categorized e-mails about certain types of shelter animals such as seniors, pregnant dogs or small special needs dogs. She also sent out information on animals not faring well. Her e-mails were very helpful. Recently TCWN and AOA recommended these types of categorized e-mails recommence and that efforts be made to rebuild relationships with rescue organizations. Their suggestions have reportedly been met with a tremendous amount of resistance from PACC’s Live Release Manager. Ms. Silver expressed concern that PACC does not follow through with commitments to stakeholders. Meetings and discussions are held and agreements are made, but PACC does not keep their agreements. She cited an agreement back in April for pregnant dogs to be placed on a 72-hour rescue list before they would be spay aborted; this agreement has not been followed. She added that AOA possibly will no longer be pulling animals from PACC. She reported significant resistance in the rescue community to work with PACC and said that some rescuers are now pulling animals from other shelters outside of Pima County because they are easier to work with. Ms. Silver relayed the following list of requests from rescues regarding what they are asking from PACC. 1. Weekly list of seniors at PACC 2. Weekly list of small dogs at PACC 3. Weekly notification of animals in distress 4. 72-hour notice before aborting pregnant dogs 5. Immediate notification of a pregnant, possibly pregnant or mom with babies entering PACC Ms. Silver also expressed concern about rescue alter certificates and the risk of rescues adopting out unaltered animals.

4. Manager’s Report Kim Janes, Pima Animal Care Center Chief of External Affairs, reported that the trend of fewer intakes continues and more animals are being released alive. The rescue numbers are down compared to last year, but adoptions and to a lesser degree returns to owners are higher than last year. During discussion Mr. Janes said the County Administrator has adopted a no euthanasia policy by which no adoptable, rehabilitatable or treatable animal is put down; and referred to the Asilomar Accords as a source for this policy and its terminology. Ms. Schwerin asserted that there are more adoptable animals than suitable homes; cautioned against adopting animals out to cruel owners / poor homes; referred to a packet welfare case wherein animals adopted from PACC were emaciated; and said an animal is better off dead than being in a home where it is badly mistreated. Ms. Hubbard added that she has recently spoken to four of the five Board of Supervisors members regarding the PACC bond proposal and was encouraged to hear two of them interject that we can’t keep killing animals. Mr. Janes said the Center is using due diligence to make every effort to place animals in suitable homes. Yes there are challenges and returns, but PACC’s live release rate has gone from approximately 40 percent to over 80 percent and we cannot go back to a euthanizing policy.

• Community Cat Project The City of Tucson very recently voted to amend their code to allow for the Community Cat Project to move forward in the City. There are ongoing financial discussions with the cities and towns; however, the County is committed to proceeding with this project. Also PACC is continually seeking grants, donations and funding avenues to fund this project and other PACC objectives. • Bond Educational Opportunities Mr. Janes provided two County Animal Care Center bond information sheets and reported that he has been a speaker at bond educational opportunities, including with a Green Valley / Sahuarita council and the Oro Valley Chamber of Commerce.

5. Old Business • Update on July 19, 2014 Motion for Resolution for PACC to Remedy Issues Relating to the Care

and Welfare of Pets at PACC - Operations This item was deferred to next month’s agenda. • Vet Holds and Confiscation Holds – Processes, Procedures and Ways to Shorten Length of Hold

Time (Chair Neuman/PACC Management Team)

Mr. Janes pointed out there were no veterinary holds in the report only enforcement holds. In response to a question, Dr. Bonnie Lilley, Chief of Veterinarian Services, discussed factors influencing the length of a hold. Felonies take more time than misdemeanors; and some health conditions take longer than others. An animal with low weight might not take a long time to recover; in contrast, mange can take one to two months to treat. Dr. Lilley talked about how if an animal improves dramatically at PACC, which she described as a minimum standard of care, then a court can say that the owner was negligent. She described an example where before and after photos resulted in a guilty verdict against a pet owner. • Post Adoption Medical Care (Chair Neuman/Ms. Emptage) Ms. Emptage receives numerous calls from pet owners who say they cannot afford veterinary care. She suggested that some individuals hear about a free veterinary visit and think it means free veterinary care, which is not the case. She voiced that being able to obtain medications from PACC at cost or elsewhere at a discount would be helpful. She emphasized that adopters need to be educated on risks and responsibilities of pet ownership going forward. Ms. Hubbard said the Humane Society was told they could not have their veterinarian see pets they adopted out because they are not licensed as a full service public veterinary clinic. Pet insurance, possibly covered for two weeks by PACC, was touched on as an avenue to pursue, but Mr. Janes said pet insurance does not cover pre-existing conditions.

• The dates/name/location of organizations the Pima Animal Care Center (PACC) has visited both

announced and unannounced to verify accordance with the ordinance passed on August 5, 2014 regarding animals received from PACC.

Animal Care Advocate Justin Gallick said since the code change PACC Staff has visited six rescue foster locations. Five passed and one, Siberian Husky Rescue, failed; and PACC is no longer working with them. The five visited that passed are Big Heads Bigger Hearts, Hope Animal Shelter, Sol Dog Rescue, Pima Paws for Life and Cold Wet Noses. Poor cleanliness was the reason for the one fail. Discussion brought out that, due to lack of resources, PACC is currently only planning to visit one foster per rescue.

7. Animal Welfare, Dangerous Animal Cases and Holds for the Month of August Ms. Schwerin cited welfare case 2, in which an owner was cited for tie-out, no water, no license and no rabies vaccination, as an example of a poor owner getting her dog back. In response to a question, Dr. Lilley confirmed that law requires the rabies vaccine be given by a veterinarian, not an owner. Ms. Schwerin referred to welfare case 1, in which an owner was cited for tie-outs, no shelter, no water, no license and no vaccination, as an example of an owner she doubts would ever become a good owner. Mr. Jacobs requested information on authority to confiscate and not return an animal. Mr. Janes discussed judgment calls based on physical conditions, the condition of the animal(s) and interactions with owners and said the code says the officer “may” confiscate. Ms. Schwerin cited welfare case 5, in which two dogs were found to be emaciated, as an example of animals adopted out of PACC into a home that was not a suitable home.

8. Donations: A total of 1,269 individuals gave a total of $44,365.53 in donations during the month of September. There was no discussion on this item.

9. Complaints and Commendations There were four complaints and one commendation, plus a fifth complaint that eventually became a second commendation, received by staff during September. There was no discussion on this item.

10. Call to the Audience

Tiffany Rosler addressed the Committee regarding PACC interactions with rescue partners. Recently Ms. Rosler was notified by a volunteer, at 9:11 pm, about a pregnant Chihuahua. Ms. Rosler was at PACC at 8:00 am the next morning and had the dog out by 10:29 am. She said this is an example of how quickly rescue personnel can act when given proper information and said the rescue was a result of a volunteer’s communication, not the Rescue Coordinator’s. She said the nightly rescue list has numerous errors and one recently almost cost a dog being adopted. The dog was pregnant and was spay aborted. A rescue partner was turned away twice because Chameleon was not update and still listed the dog as pregnant. Ms. Rosler also requested name tags for staff and said name tags will promote staff accountability.

Pima County Animal Care Advisory Committee Minutes October 16, 2014 Page 5 of 5 11. Announcements, Schedules and Proposed Agenda Items

Mr. Jacobs requested the rescue / PACC relationship concerns brought up by both speakers from the audience be added to the next agenda. His request included copies of the narrative Ms. Silver read from. Mr. Janes announced that PACC’s accomplishments in the ASPCA Challenge over the summer resulted in PACC receiving a check for $5,000. Mr. Gallick said PACC received an $8,000 grant to facilitate tent events at four different PetSmarts and will be bringing adoptable dogs to these local PetSmarts over the next two days.

12. Next Meeting – November 20, 2014

There was no discussion on this item. 13. Adjournment

The meeting adjourned at 6:52 pm

Thanks Terri. Michelle is going through both the dog and cat list in the next day or two and will update those that havechanges. As you know pets status changes are dependant on our medical teams triage, evaluation and treatmentlength. With almost 1,000 pets in the shelter this can take some time as they have to prioritize which pets are mostcrucial. This is why we are placing so many pets on these lists as pre-vet check.

Unfortunately Deebo was already euthanized for fighting with other dogs and hip dysplacia.

I'm sorry. I meant Rocky, not Titan. I will come by this weekend to meet them all. Will Deebo be available to meet?Thank you for all of your help. If any other seniors come up let me know ASAP - I would really like to help an old blue.

I will consider Porky when I come in. He deserves a little peace!

Hi Terri,

I am interested in more information on Deebo. Does he have any bite history at all? I would love to help Porky out but Ireally like pits and I know they are harder to adopt out. If he was a pit I would take him right now. Titan is a possibilityas well. A photo and a little bit more background info on Deebo if you have it please.

What do we know about Diesal? I can come down and meet him but what has his behavior been?

This listing on the PAC website does not display a photo until you click on the listing. He is cute. You need to get himin the competition :)

Do you have any older gentlemen Pit Bulls that need a home? I have a 13 year old fixed female pit wholost her brother a couple of years ago. I want to get her a partner to enjoy the "retirement years" with.She is super sweet but slow so I need a lower energy sweetie that wants to sleep with her all day. Ihave a fenced yard, dogs get their own room with dog door to their own yard.

Let me know if you have any well behaved good old boys that need a great home for the last bit of theirlife.

Thank you,

Josh

Right. The activity memos from his previous impoundment were never read.If they had been, he likely would not have been placed for adoption in thefirst place.

We are aware of at least one other incident in which he has attempted toredirect on a volunteer when on a walk. His behavior has definitelydeteriorated significantly in the last week or two.

So a dog with an A who has recently been on the "watch" list has a previousaggressive history prior to coming to PACC and it was never noticed beforenow?

Bonny told me yesterday she had trouble with him (I believe it was a fullweek ago?) but I have not heard of him attempting to bite other volunteers.

Upon reviewing his record in preparation for sending out hisshort term listing, we discovered that Slick Rick has severaldocumented instances of behaving aggressively and trying tobite in the field.

Because of this, coupled with the incidents with volunteers, weare reviewing our decision to place him with the healthdepartment. In the meantime, he is not able to be walked aswe do not want to risk our volunteers' safety - as you probablyknow, one of the incidents in which he tried to bite was withsomebody who has worked closely with him for many months.

We're hoping to have resolution on this tomorrow, and we'll letyou know as soon as we know.

Who currently has permission to walk him?

Can we get permission for Jen, myself, Cindy, Becky, Kricket,Terra? All of us have been working with him extensively andfeel comfortable handling him. That will ensure he gets outdaily, which I feel is important for him.

Thanks,

Christy

I'm CC-ing Jenifer here because she had askedMatt what was going on with Slick Rick.

Slick Rick is being placed for short term rescueand will be sent out today. He has tried to bitemultiple volunteers and is clearly deteriorating tothe point where he can no longer be safely orhumanely maintained. He is not currentlyallowed to be walked by anybody but staff andvolunteers who have worked with him previouslydue to the severity of his behavior.

There may be others included on the list forbehavioral reasons as we had a couple of prettysevere issues arise yesterday - Sponge severelyattacked and injured her kennel mate, andZeena had to be moved to a covered kennel asshe was climbing the kennel to attack every dogthat walked by her. I'm waiting on a call backfrom Jose to discuss these cases.

As Jose has been away, we have been trying tolimit the number of behavioral short term dogsso that we have as many hands on deck aspossible. We'll likely be restructuring the list in



the upcoming week and then we can set up aregular time for us to get together each weekand discuss dogs who are at risk, how they areresponding, and who is being placed for shortterm rescue.

Thanks!

Hi Michelle,

I heard that Slick has new restrictions on hiskennel from you and Dr. Wilcox. He is onlyallowed out for potty breaks. Is he being put upfor STR?

Are there any others coming? I haven't seen anynew dogs named lately nor further discussion onthe STR list.

Thanks for any notice and info you can share.

October 30, 2014

To whom it may concern,

I am writing this letter to share with you my experiences with Pima Animal Care Center (PACC). I am currently a medicalfoster for a dog from PACC and in addition, I'm also fostering another dog from PACC that was pulled from the ShortTerm Rescue List. In no way is this letter intended to bash PACC it's clearly so that people can see what improvementsneed to be made to save more lives and improve the medical services for the foster families that support PACC.

After having my foster dog for 6 weeks I was finally able to get someone to schedule a vet appointment. Ourappointment was set for 3:30 p.m. and took 4 hours. I brought my foster dog, my two children who also volunteer withme at PACC as dog walkers, and a friend. We were asked to wait in the hallway by the veterinarian office where we stoodfor over one hour. In that time we saw many incidents that were inappropriate for my children and the general public. During our wait in the hallway, Dr. Wilcox, came out to listen to my dog's lungs and said she was concerned about hispneumonia but the x-ray machine was still down and not working. Then an employee/vet tech and one CarringtonCollege student came out to the hallway to draw blood from my dog using his leash as a restraint. After manyunsuccessful attempts to draw blood by a method that I can only describe as looking like he was being stabbedrepeatedly in his front legs, they decided to clear out the intake room and drag my dog inside. We waited in the hallwayfor roughly 15 minutes and when they returned my dog to me he was bleeding from both legs. I had to ask the vet techto please help me stop the bleeding. While the vet tech worked on my dog, a Carrington College student was holding alifeless kitten in the hallway. My 6 year old son asked "What's wrong with that kitten?" The vet tech cold-heartedly toldmy son that "the kitten is going to die cuz it is sick." A simple response like "The kitten is sick and we are going to helpit" would have sufficed and taught a lesson on helping animals. Her attitude was not only unprofessional butinappropriate toward a young and impressionable child.

Still waiting in the hallway, two Carrington College students proceeded to drag a dog that was soaking wet, covered inblood, by me and my children and our foster dog. Two, young, female Carrington College students, without name tags,then followed the dog that had been in a fight. The two Carrington College female students stop what they were doingto talk to another male student and tell him that they had put two new dogs improperly into a kennel, not using leashesand they got into a horrible fight. The fight went on for 15 minutes and then proceeded to tell everyone that an inmatebroke his hand beating on the dogs. One student kept repeating loudly so all customers, children and employees in thearea could hear him "It's because pitbulls have locking jaws that's the problem it's not the fault of the girls who didn'tknow what they were doing it's because pitbulls have locking jaws." I told my friend who had accompanied me and mychildren to PACC to please take my children outside. So disgusted, I could no longer sit there and be quiet I felt that Ihad to inform the student, who was not wearing a name tag, that this information is not true. Pitbulls have very strong

https://overview.mail.yahoo.com/mobile/?.src=Android



muscles but they do not have locking jaws and to stop making those claims around adopters. I started to become veryfrustrated because I'm still waiting in the hall. At that point they allow me and my foster dog to come sit in a corner ofthe vet's office. As we walked inside there was a pile of vomit on the floor. I had to pull on my dog's leash to keep himfrom sniffing it or licking it up. At that point the Carrington College student walks by and says "Gross that's probablycontaminated vomit, it probably has something contagious. Nasty!" She didn't bother to clean it up and it remained onthe floor the entire time I was in the veterinarian's office. At that point Dr. Wilcox had left the office because she had ameeting. When the doctor left the vet techs and all the students stopped working and started eating. No one washedtheir hands between handling dogs and eating their personal food. They then started talking on their phones andspeaking about their sex lives. Then a Carrington College student stood there holding a dog refusing to take it back tohis kennel because she didn't know where it went and couldn't be bothered to look it up. Instead of working she stoodthere holding a dog. She stated several times it wasn't her job to take the dog back which would only took 5 minutes soshe could have been productive helping another animal in need. The whole time all I wanted to do is get my dog takencare of and leave as quickly as possible. I was afraid he would catch something contagious just sitting in the office as wewaited. At that point the vet tech said they needed to draw more blood and once again they pulled my dog into anotherroom and again he was returned bleeding from his front legs. When I mentioned to the vet tech to please help me getmy dog to stop bleeding he callously told me it's probably because he has ticker fever or even valley fever (both of thosetest later came back negative). At this point I just wanted to get his test results and get out of PACC because I was veryupset. I'm very committed to my foster dog and want the best for him. Unfortunately, none of the staff there wanted toshow any compassion or kindness toward my foster dog or respect that I volunteer there and foster dogs for PACC. Afteranother long wait, I was told that he needs to go back on his medications and it took them 30 minutes to count twoprescriptions (which I counted at home and discovered they were dispensed incorrectly). While I was waiting 30 minutesfor them to fill two prescriptions, the doctor was still at her meeting, and the female vet tech and students took this timeto stand around laughing, joking and saying things like "that dog is ugly if you don't take it home we will put it down."While another Carrington College student, without a name tag, was complaining that a dog with giardia had licked herface and how she was "so tired of the dogs and she better not get sick from this dog." I believe it's not onlyunprofessional but unethical to speak this way in front of fosters and adopters. The attitude that was presented by theCarrington College students as well as the two paid vet technicians was inappropriate I feel like they do not care foranimals and they are in the wrong line of work or career. I also feel the Carrington College students are not monitoredclosely and are doing inappropriate things with the animals that are causing them to become injured, hurt or to becomemore ill. I would also like to mention the fact that they were holding needles in their mouths then giving shots anddrawing blood.

While I'm still waiting for my dog's medication the Carrington College student that had said inappropriate commentsabout pitbulls approaches me and my foster dog and says "Wow you love chows?" I responded with "Yes, I'm a chowperson, I've raised chows my whole life." At that point he says "Wow I always thought they were super aggressive." Iinformed him that his breed information was incorrect. You would think as a vet tech student that he would not be inthe practice of generalizing breeds and know the importance of getting to know a dog on a case by case basis. I wasvery disappointed with the Carrington College students and PACC's failure to properly train them.

I would also like to remind whoever is reading this letter these things occurred when Dr. Wilcox was out of the office.Upon her return the students and vet techs acted completely different. Not by choice, I had to endure four, yes 4 hours,of observing the medical staff and their inefficiency.

The fact of the matter is I've had my foster for 8 weeks. Every time I go to PACC or call PACC there is no staff available tohelp me. The foster program is flawed no-one calls to check up on my dog, no-one calls to schedule appointments, no-one calls to see if my foster dog needs more medicine. I struggle to get in contact with people and feel it's been ahorrible experience. It shouldn't take me weeks to get ahold of the foster coordinator or anyone to give me informationon what I need to do to keep my foster dog with pneumonia healthy. While I was there for the appointment I triednumerous times to find out what I needed to do to adopt my foster dog. I even informed them that I would pay for allmedical costs incurred after the adoption but again no-one seemed very interested in helping me with finalizing thepaperwork.

I am currently starting a second job so I have the funds to provide my dog the medical care he so desperately deserves.These issues need to be brought to light and addressed. This is our only open admission shelter and if Pima Animal



Care wants to continue to get people to foster and keep their current foster homes there needs to be professionalcommunication, support and compassionate help. It makes me very sad that it had to write this letter. I want the best forour homeless animals I spend countless days volunteering, fostering and campaigning for Proposition 415. I do all ofthese things for the homeless animals of Pima County because I care. I do not receive a paycheck and feel my reward issaving lives. However, the staff that is paid to be there and this requires them to be ethical, professional andcompassionate. I hope the information I provided can help with improvements to PACC.

Sincerely,

A devoted foster mom.

This dog is currently on an enforcement hold for the next 4-5 days and can’t be release until that hold is cleared. Otherthan that the only mother and puppies that I am aware of is the semi feral Shepherd x (2x biter) with her single 5 weekold pup.

Thanks,

When dogs come in that are on hold, notifying rescues in advance gives us time to network and find proper fosterhomes and avoid scrambling and not getting the best placement.

When was this dog spayed? Not only was she not on the non-existent, yet agreed to 72 hour list for pregnant animals,she wasn't even on the regular rescue list...Which btw is still plagued with kc/uri dogs. When are those coming off? Who is in charge of rescue these lists? Clearly, whoever it is can't handle them.

Hi Justin, I saw the great work Christy Hollinger is doing with the training classes on Monday And Wednesday. Sheseems to really know some of these at risk dogs. May i suggest on the days the intern for the rescue coordinator isthere ( so they can manage the helm) that Michelle Lindorff attend these classes to meet and really experience thesedogs out of the kennels. The classes sound so good i think i will start helping when i get back in town.

I think it also builds a good foundation with volunteers and staff to work together in a different setting. And I think it willbe a good experience for Michelle, more hands on with the dogs.

Does anyone else have trouble receiving the "Dogs" rescue list via email each night? I will get it for severaldays, and then suddenly I only get "Cats" - sometimes for a week or two. Then I will get the dogs list again fora few days - then nothing - then back to only cats. I have asked Michelle about it and she said they werehaving some trouble and thought it was related to the receivers email systems. But, then why do cats comethrough faithfully each night? Anyone able to email me the dogs list? I have a few open fosters and wouldlove to see the list. Having trouble getting down there often to physically look at the dog inventory since mysurgery, but, if I had the list of what is smaller and needs out, it would be great.

Thank you for your prompt response Justin. I will however again request that Medical dogs that are Notsuffering be given a weeks notice so that the rescues that do take the majority in to their rescue have enoughtime to sort out what the animal will need, find a foster and of course raise funds if applicable.

Also i am requesting that from this date set forth October 1, 2014 that either your rescue coordinator or avolunteer send a separate senior list weekly to your rescue and volunteer partners so we can advocate forthem . Also we would like to see this for your small special needs dogs and large special needs.

Weights and breeds are of course important in this information but in layman terms what is ailing them wouldbe most helpful. Thank you so very much.

Dr. Wilcox is in surgery today, so she might not be able to be reached by phone or email. However, I can tell you whatshe just told me, which is that she thinks that short term rescue is in the best interest of both of these pets as theiradoptability through our long-term rescue/SNA model is virtually zero and we’ve lot a lot of older pets to deteriorationin the shelter. She said that we can’t continue to pretend that we’re a sanctuary for these pets because wearen’t set up for it.

The recommendation to list both Saturn and Jackie for short term rescue was made by Dr. Wilcox, and she offered todo the surgeries in an effort to entice rescues to pull them. Doing the surgeries, however, wouldn’t change the fact thatthey are senior pets with low adoptability and in Jackie’s case, wouldn’t change the fact that she is a senior dog withsevere hip problems in an incredibly uncomfortable environment.












You are welcome to take Jackie to get x-rays of her hips and we can hold her through 7 PM on 10/08 to explorerescue/treatment options. However, please remember that her adoptability is extremely low in the shelter and that sheis living on concrete, which is less than ideal. Dr. Wilcox said that the most humane thing to do in these cases is toeither get them out into a home or euthanize them given how we’ve seen them deteriorate in the past.

Thank you for all that you’re doing to help Jackie and our other medical cases!

Hudson (A485920) is an approximately 2 year old neutered male pit bull mix who was brought to us as a stray. He has

tel:520.791.6589










become very reactive to people approaching his kennel, and will lunge, bark aggressively, and bite at the kennel bars.Once out of the kennel, he calms down and is people social, although a little nervous. He will be held through 7 PM on10/03/14 for rescue efforts. He does not have any issues being kenneled with other dogs and does well with themwhen on leash, too. He is not recommended to a home with young children given his behavior, and is interested inchasing cats. He weighs approximately 50 pounds.

Noki (A485320) is an approximately 8 year old spayed German shepherd mix who originally came to us as a stray inJune. She was adopted and returned shortly after for not getting along with the smaller animals in the home. Noki wasoriginally able to be kenneled with large dogs here, but has since become intolerant of them and is unable to share akennel. She has also become reactive toward dogs in the kennel and while on leash. She will be held through 7 PMon 10/03/14 for rescue efforts. One-on-one, Noki is a very sweet and mellow girl who loves attention. She weighsapproximately 85 pounds.

Raider (A398429) is a 2 year old neutered pit bull mix who was picked up in the field after attempting to dig under thecaller’s fence and acting aggressively with her dogs. He was originally able to be kenneled with other dogs, so he wasplaced for adoption with the recommendation that adopters bring their dogs in to meet him before adopting. However,he has been housed alone for the majority of his time here and is now deteriorating and becoming increasinglyreactive in the kennel toward people and dogs. Volunteers report that “he’s an idiot in his kennel but a total gentlemanoutside” and is a “very good boy who loves belly rubs.” Raider will be held through 7 PM on 10/03/14 for rescueefforts.

I had taken the time a few days ago to speak with Janel @ St. Bernard Rescue about 2 St. Bernards @ Pacc. As oftoday Janel said she had left a message yesterday at noonish on Michelle's phone (i am aware she was outyesterday} and then an email was sent to Justin @1:30 yesterday and then a message was left today again onMichelle's phone. Janel's number is 480-747-2166. She is awaiting a phone call back.

Just a reminder for me to assist you your mindset really should be as the rescue staff on getting these animals out. Iam all for helping and networking and will continue to do that but if I refer a rescue to you all its very important that weall expedite the animal getting out as quickly as possible. May i make a suggestion to maybe check voice-mails uponyour arrival first thing and return phone calls and emails as top priority so that the rescues can get everythingorganized , transport, foster homes... We all have the same mission. That is to get the animals out to rescue andhomes so that it creates more room for the animals constantly coming in. Thank you so very much.'Terri GoddardTCWN

Good evening,

Though i appreciate the effort of separating the rescue list by gender i do believe if you could separate by seniors,small dogs, large dogs, moms and puppies including possible pregnant and pregnant moms instead it would beeasier (and more productive) for your rescue partners to net work these animals for PACC . Separating by genderthat i am aware of is not as helpful when networking the vast amount of special needs dogs and cats . Thank you so much.Terri GoddardTucson Cold Wet Noses

Thank you for the feedback, Terri. The list was split into male/female lists because Comcast and several other serversbegan bouncing back the comprehensive list as undeliverable as the file size was too large.

We are currently looking into finding a way to auto-generate the lists you are requesting or recruiting a volunteerwilling to donate 6-8 hours a week to manually generate them for us.

Thanks again,

Michelle Lindorff

I honestly don't think that will take 6 to 8 hours so I think that you need to maybe do it yourself to see how long it willtake also chameleon should have some of those options in there I spoke with Maricopa shelter and she says its acheck list and that chameleon should be able to pull by small dogs cuz you check that on there by senior dogs maybewe can go by 7 years or above but its there's no way that it should take 6 to 8 hours to do
