Adoption Event - A Sad Reality
On Saturday, December 4, 2006 SPCLA in Long Beach, California held an adoption event. One of the advertised goals was to show, and ideally find homes for some of the seized Noah's Ark pets. The Noah's Ark dogs and cats were recognizable by the yellow ribbon placed on their cage. Unfortunately, virtually all of the animals with such a ribbon were not in fact from Noah's Ark. Noah's Ark representatives were on hand to view all the prospective adoptees and found just a single dog that was properly designated.
Tragically, many animals continue to languish in cages at the Bureau of Animal Control. Many are in very poor health. For no apparent reason countless animals remain in these cages and are not made available for adoption.
We believe these animals are the victims of poor management. Is this harsh criticism or reality? Look at it this way, has the city of Long Beach been given glowing reviews and awards for it's Bureau of Animal Control like other major cities like San Francisco? If the city of Long Beach's Bureau of Animal Control was so brilliantly run, would there be entire organizations and web sites devoted to pointing out potential mismanagement?
We urge you to ask your own questions.
Contact the Mayor of Long Beach, Bob Foster at 562.570.6801 or send him a note at mayor@longbeach.gov

What was the date of the special adoption event? Is it over? How many were adopted?
You can see the city's "adoption event" was really well publicized eh? It was this past weekend -- yes, the big mall weekend when everyone is out shopping for Christmas...strange no one was at Pitchford Village. The city will use this to say "Well nobody wants these animals -- we held an adoption event just for them and no one came. We need to put these animals down and make room for other "more adoptable" pets." Are you ready to buy that bullshit???
Ask the Mayor to do an adoption event and actually publicize it with ads in the Press Telegram.
