Maybe Mr Keating should try re-writting the Warden’s job description to include fundraising/grant writing, participation in cummunity outreach projects and education of the community regarding the responsibilities of pet owners.

We were able to get a s/n program so people couldn’t just adopt and then never fix their dogs from there. We were able to help educate them on some cleaning policies, but if they follow them we don’t know. We were able to get them to start a volunteer program so locals could keep an eye on where their tax dollars were going and help those poor dogs. The injured dogs are not helped or vetted, just left to suffer, but sometimes if we pressure them now they do take a dog to a vet and do some type of help, but buying meds is not an option if the dog needs them.

They still don’t isolate the incoming dogs so you have to be careful when adopting from there, but they have come along way. We donated water buckets because they were not evening watering the dogs on hot days and shutting them outside with no water.

There have been many improvements over the last 3 years, and the local volunteers there now are still working on getting improvements for their pound. Those dogs still need more help then other organized and descent dog pounds, so please if you are local, go help and if you are a rescue, please try to take in some Trumbull Dogs
