My wife and daughter brought our beloved dog Kura to this place hoping to provide a humane end to her life. Everyone agreed it was her time. Eleven years ago Kura showed up in our very rural backyard in the middle of the winter in very poor condition. It took five days to lure her into our home; it was obvious she did not trust people. After a few days we were able to get her to our veterinarian only to find out she had Lyme disease. That was the beginning of our long relationship with Kura. Fast forward to today. After someone had written up the order to euthanize Kura, another employee came out and said they were unable to provide the service because Kura had a chip imbedded inside of her. This was shocking and totally unexpected given her history. The beginning of her life became more of a mystery. The humane society cannot share the contact numbers on the chip, so they had to make the calls which were to OHIO. No answers and disconnected numbers. There is also an emergency contact. That person answered and said they no longer communicated with the primary contacts. In other words, there was no way to contact the people that registered the chip. The humane society then called our veterinarian whom confirmed we had cared for Kura for over 10 years. Even still, the humane society decided to do the most inhumane thing and deny her right to a humane passing. I am not an attorney for animal rights groups but I can say factually this was inhumane. I also do not know if responsibility lies in the hands of the chip providers or the humane society. I do know there needs to be change and I would like to know where to direct my anger, frustration, and influence for change.
