Action Alert - Help Stop the Killing at Anne Arundel Co. Animal Control

A proposal is on the table to fix Anne Arundel Co. Animal Control by hiring a new Civilian Administrator to run Animal Control humanely. However, the proposal has to pass the budget in order to provide the funding.  (For details see the latest article in The Capital HERE.)

Contact your county councilman to ask him to APPROVE FUNDING for a Civilian Administrator for Animal Control. You can email or call him or set an appointment to meet him in person to express to him how important this is to you. (And if you'd like a board member from MVFA to go with you to your meeting then email Carolyn@VoteAnimals.org.)

Here is a sample letter plus contact information:

Dear Councilman _________: I am contacting you to today to ask that you approve the funding for the Civilian Administrator for Anne Arundel County Animal Control so that it can be run humanely. This is terribly important to me because there are far too many animals being killed there --- Anne Arundel County can do better!
