PG Animal Shelter Rally
Advertisement
The rally brings together advocates, rescues, and residents to demand transparency, medical accountability, and structural reform at the Prince George’s County Animal Services Facility:
Budget & Resource Misallocation: Demanding that county leaders prioritize local facility funding over un-vetted, multi-million-dollar out-of-state grants.
Veterinary Malpractice & Neglect: Addressing botched procedures (like using a razor/box cutter on a dog named Palace) and the resignation of the lead veterinarian facing formal Maryland Veterinary Board complaints.
Disease Outbreaks & Shifting Costs: Exposing the lack of URI containment protocols, which resulted in sick, untreated animals being released to local adopters and rescues who paid emergency vet bills out-of-pocket.
Withheld Lists & Euthanasia: Protesting shelter decisions to hide urgent adoption lists, cutting off rescues and directly causing 22 preventable dog euthanasias.
MPIA Record Stonewalling: Condemning transparency barriers—including $5,000 fee demands, denied indigency waivers, and hidden shelter records—meant to keep operations out of public view.
