We are the heartbroken family of Gunner, an innocent and beloved pet who was prematurely euthanized at Linda McNatt Animal Care & Adoption Center. Our beloved Gunner was taken in by the center, a place intended as a refuge for lost animals. Nikki Sassenus, the Director, and Mindy Henry, the Manager, were the ones responsible for his untimely death, taken from us less than 24 hours after his arrival at the center.

It is known that shelters, by law, should give the lost pets a period of 72 hours to find their families before a decision like this can be made. However, Gunner wasn't given the chance he deserved. This center's reckless decision has irrevocably damaged our family. Our fur baby was hastily and cruelly deemed disposable, his life carelessly ended by those who were supposed to protect and care for him.

We are calling for an urgent and thorough investigation into the euthanasia practices of Linda McNatt Animal Care & Adoption Center to ensure that no more families need to suffer as we have. No pet deserves such a fate, and no family should have to endure such a loss. Please sign this petition to seek justice for Gunner and to ensure that no other pet falls victim to such unfair and distressing practices. Let's demand better from our animal shelters.
