Come out Saturday, September 27th from 10-12 for our Pawsitive Futures event and see how you too can be part of the solution!

I need to speak on this.

Every so often, I’m reminded of just how misunderstood our animal services teams are. Recently, I was tagged over and over about a dog I featured who ended up on the euthanasia list. And it hit me: far too often, people’s frustration and heartbreak get turned against the very people who are doing everything they can to save these animals.

Let me be clear: animal services staff are not the enemy.

These men and women see things every single day that most of us will never have to witness. They see animals arrive broken, sick, neglected, abused, and abandoned. They are the ones cleaning wounds, comforting trembling pets, and offering the first moment of safety many of these animals will ever know. And yes, they are also the ones who, when all options have been exhausted, must make the hardest decisions imaginable.

Do you think for one second that they want to euthanize an animal? Absolutely not. But the truth is, they are battling a problem that the community created, not them. Overbreeding. Irresponsible ownership. Lack of spay and neuter. Abandonment. All of these things pile onto their shoulders, and every single day they’re forced to deal with the heartbreaking aftermath.

It is never-ending. And yet, they keep showing up.

They don’t have the luxury of turning away. They don’t get to pretend the problem doesn’t exist. They deal with whatever comes through those doors, no matter how tough, no matter how heavy. And somehow, they still show up with love in their hearts for every animal they encounter.

So let’s stop painting them as villains. There should never be distaste or hatred toward these workers. Instead, it should be a joint mission. At the end of the day, they are not the ones who failed these animals, the community did. And now they are the ones working tirelessly to clean up the consequences.

If we truly want to save more lives, it starts with all of us:

✅ Support your shelters.
✅ Volunteer.
✅ Foster.
✅ Adopt.
✅ Spay and neuter.

These are the people standing on the front lines of a battle they didn’t create, but one they fight every single day with compassion and grit. They deserve our respect, our gratitude, and our support.

Stop the blame. Stand with them. Because saving animals is not their mission alone, it’s ours.
