My dog Toby was lost for two months before arriving at Fort Smith Animal Haven. Instead of being cared for and returned to his family, he was euthanized as soon as he arrived at the shelter on the grounds of being "too aggressive". The lady who called animal control stated that Toby was a sweet dog, and she had no reason to believe that he was aggressive.

This incident is not an isolated one. There are numerous reports suggesting misconduct in animal euthanasia practices at this shelter. It's time we demand transparency and accountability from Fort Smith Animal Haven.

Furthermore, there are allegations of financial scams within the organization which need to be thoroughly investigated by relevant authorities.

In 2019 alone, approximately 670,000 dogs were euthanized in shelters across the United States (source: American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals). This number is staggering and highlights a systemic issue with how animals are treated in shelters nationwide - but it starts locally.

We call on local government officials in Fort Smith, AR to conduct a thorough investigation into these allegations against Fort Smith Animal Haven - including their euthanasia practices and potential financial irregularities. We also urge them to implement stricter regulations regarding animal care within shelters.

Let's ensure no more pets like Toby suffer such an unjust fate again. Please sign this petition today!
