County NOT posting their animals on Facebook - GWINNETT.
Laberge and Respess have used the excuse that Gwinnett County does not allow departments to use Facebook even if that use would save the taxpayers the expense of keeping pets longer than needed, killing them or preventing pet owners from finding their lost pets on Facebook. However, Gwinnett's Sheriff Department has two face book pages - one for the Detention center and the other for the Jail Dog program.
The REAL reason we don't at least try to post our soon to be killed URGENT pets on Facebook is two things - the Gwinnett Police Department's inept management of the shelter (see privatize) and the lazy, inept shelter management that refuses to provide reliable information to the PUBLIC volunteers who have offered to network this life saving information.
County's that care enough about not killing their shelter pets - see above list
County that doesn't care - Gwinnett
Please call or email your commissioner and ask why don't WE care about networking our URGENT pets?
Fulton county also uses Facebook..
ReplyDeleteFulton County has a facebook 'group' which looks to be moderated by a volunteer. Groups are more difficult to maintain than community pages as far as current listing for animals and older groups are being phased out completely. Plus, you have to "ask" to join the group. Fulton County should switch to a more user friendly page for their shelter urgents.
