I first saw Timber, identified as stray #61886093, on Citrus County Animal Services' website. Perhaps a majestic wolfdog, Timber had captured the hearts of many, including rescue organizations, sanctuaries, and individuals ready to step up. I promptly reached out to Colleen Yarbrough, Director of Citrus County Animal Services, offering to arrange transportation for Timber to a suitable sanctuary. To my dismay, my reach-out went unanswered, and Timber vanished from the radar, with no word or explanation.

Timber's story has touched many, as evident from the immense outpouring of support from a community ready to provide a safe haven for him. Licensed individuals expressed willingness to facilitate his transport, and multiple sanctuaries extended their hands, prepared to offer Timber a new lease on life. Yet, Citrus County Animal Services refused to engage or acknowledge these efforts and Timber inexplicably disappeared.

This petition is not only about seeking justice for Timber but also transparency from Citrus County Animal Services. If Timber was euthanized, what were the reasons? Was every possible avenue explored to avoid such a tragic outcome? We deserve answers, and Timber deserved a chance.

Animal welfare is a community's responsibility, and we must hold those in power accountable when they fail to uphold the duty of care expected of them. Transparency in processes and decisions is crucial to build trust between animal services and the public they serve.

We demand a clear and detailed explanation from Citrus County Animal Services regarding Timber's fate. It is paramount that protocols and actions involving stray and potentially misunderstood animals are thoroughly scrutinized to prevent future mishandlings.

Your signature can help us demand accountability and ensure that no other animal suffers uncertain fate. Stand in solidarity with us as we seek the truth and advocate for animal rights. Please sign this petition to make your voice heard.
