That's insane!
i bet fentanyl is involved
Corruption in animal shelters is unfortunately common
There you go, greed took over what was to be a wonderful thing for people and animals. Shame on that "CEO".
That's crazy, it is highly needed there. Come on GF, take care of the lost and neglected animals.
It’s called GREED!
You voted for this. Don’t complain about it ratpublicans 🐀
As much as the CEO is responsible for the dreams, I blame the board for approving all or the "dreams". What is happening to the board??
Wow what happened to all that money? To me it sounds like someone was over paid and the poor animals were neglected. Poor animals.
All for the humans…how sad…they take for there fun and pleasure…the animals suffer..what kind of people are these..and the community respected them for years…
How sad ,how terrible,
I hope there are sum big consequences for this behavior !!!!!!!
Can not be minimized….!!
I still wonder what was behind that man who was gonna shoot the animals??
U never hear the full story..they always keep sumthing back…..
Greed for sure! Look at the adoption fees!!! In freaking sane!!!!
Talk about pilferage of funds
They all paid themselves pretty well
i feel like this place is always struggling. always needing more money, always asking for help. is it just bad management or what? or does gf just have the highest number of abandoned pets in the country? this place will be lucky to get a dollar in the future with this scar on their record , obviously they needed all that money to pad their pockets.
