End Saginaw County's Breed Discriminating Policy!
The Issue
A lot of great dogs have lost their lives just because they are, or even just look like, Pit Bulls. The counties current policy is to NOT adopt out or transfer ANY dogs this applies to. This is not fair and can be changed by simply educatiion of the breed, utilizing the state's animal rescues and/or using foster homes.
Facts:
Of the 5,450 dogs Saginaw County Animal Care Center received in 2010, 421 were RTO (returned to owner). Of the remaining 5,029, 3,732 were euth'ed. In other words, Only 28.92% left alive!
