We are calling for a formal investigation into Mohawk Hudson Humane Society in Menands, New York regarding concerns about how animals are handled, documented, and communicated to pet owners.

There are serious concerns from community members about inconsistent information being provided about animal status, including situations where pet owners were reportedly told an animal had been euthanized, only to later discover the same animal was listed for adoption under a different name.

These situations raise questions about:

- Accuracy of communication with pet owners

- Proper documentation of ownership or surrender consent

- Transparency in animal intake and adoption records

- How emergency situations (such as fires or housing displacement) are handled

This petition is not about harm toward animals or staff. It is about accountability, transparency, and ensuring families are given truthful information about their pets.

We are requesting:

- A formal review of shelter procedures

- Clear and consistent policies for documenting ownership or surrender

- Improved transparency in adoption and intake records

- Oversight to prevent miscommunication in emergency cases

People deserve accurate information about their pets, especially during times of crisis.
