On Monday morning, the employee mistakenly took the dog out of its pen and euthanized it. The dog was not scheduled for euthanasia.
“I am heartsick around this. I had to personally deliver the news to the dog’s owner, and he and his family are understandably distraught,” said Animal Care and Management Director Ruth Stalter. “We work hard get to strays reunited with their owners. When it comes to euthanizing an animal, there are some clear-cut methods to stick to. Based on my preliminary investigation,
