Well I have found that animals are alot easier to deal with and work with then people are. Glad to hear Ms. Larrabee is up to the challenge.

Sounds like this place needs some paint and the problem seems to lie in the last people in charge
I would think a Handy Man could take care of all the problems
With the high cost of adopting pets should pay for the repairs
This just sounds like more Utah
To lazy to do the job for money
You need people that like the animals
A no KILL Mentality
Bring the cost of adoptions down

It sounds like Ms. Larrabee has both the empathy and liking for animals plus the people management skills the Shelter needs. It sounds like she is up to the challenge of taking the Shelter in a new direction and making it a better place to work and a place that works better.

Well, good luck to her in that place. The animals in the shelter are great, but there are some seriously nasty people there who are truly awful to the customers, and I've heard their mean to the people they work with too. No wonder morale there is so bad.
