I have gone several times to the Animal Shelter and staff has not been very friendly.

They are probably not very friendly because they are so understaffed and overworked. I live in Phoenix and have sent money to my niece to purchase several collars and leashes as they requested in a previous article so that they can be donated to the shelter. I challenge all of Las Cruces to step up and help out your animal shelter and these helpless animals. Remember, these animals should not have to pay with their life b/c we cannot seem to learn how to spay and neuter our pets!

Give the staff a break, you would be a bit grumpy too if you were working over 10 days straight and an average of 12 hours per day. No matter what the staff does, SOMEONE is ALWAYS criticising them....either the public or the director. I am surprized many of them have not had breakdowns yet.
Besides, before throwing the first stone, why don't you step in their shoes for a while? Do you deal with demanding public, neglected animals and death daily????

Public support for our animal shelter will have to come from outside of our community. Our shelter problems wouldn't exist if our community's animal owners cared. The recent diluge of pleas for help without much of a response proves it.
