Faced with a flood of strays and other animals they need to take in, the City of San Antonio's Animal Care Services euthanizes hundreds of animals every month. They often do it to make room, but KSAT's Garrett Brnger tells us two dogs did have somewhere to go.
But two of the dogs put down this month should have been safe.
However, the specialist performing the procedure is supposed to review each animal’s file first to ensure there isn’t a hold in place. But despite ACS confirming the hold, Walker said she got a call later saying they had euthanized the dog. In his interview with KSAT, Sims said Bandito and Babe’s holds “were not” last-minute holds and came in “a significant amount of time before euthanasia occurred.”
That updated procedure involved the “difficult decision to not medically reverse already sedated animals who have received post-deadline holds.”of dogs in danger of being euthanized because there isn’t enough room in ACS kennels. “In the past, we have allowed late holds for animals to come in, which frequently resulted in essentially the specialist that has to conduct the euthanasia injecting the euthanasia drugs, then finding out that there was a hold for the animal that had just come through,” Sims said.Sims said the department discussed the issue with its specialists and “a lot” of it ACS’s large rescue partners about the need for a hard deadline.
