Join us on Tuesday, November 18, at the Commissioners meeting in Bartow. 9 am. Register when you arrive to speak. We need people to get involved.

Demand that they allow volunteers back into the building to walk, socialize, and promote these animals
Demand transparency and accountability of the 5.5 million dollar budget
Demand an animal advocacy committee for advice and accountability
Demand transparency and answers to our public records requests.
Demand a countywide voucher program for spaying and neutering owned animals and community cats
