Gaston County Animal Shelter Protest Demands Change

About a dozen protesters gathered at the Gaston County shelter calling for the resignation of administrator Blankenship and better animal care. The shelter reports a 22 percent euthanasia rate this year, down from six months in 2014, as new divisions and training aim to improve welfare and routine operations.

By the Numbers: Gaston County shelter euthanasia rates

The Gaston County animal shelter euthanasia percentages declined from 74 percent in 2007 to 37 percent in 2014, with 2010 at 50 percent and 2013 at 38.4 percent, prompting calls for more transparency and partnerships with local rescues to lower the rate further. Community members urge taxpayer involvement and better pet ownership education as policy changes aim to improve adoptions and reduce killings. Diane Turbyfill can be reached at 704-869-1817.
