Shelton Dogs Have Their Day [Video]
The mayor signed a proclamation declaring September 10 "Responsible Dog Ownership Day"
Mark your calendars! September 10 is officially Responsible Dog Owner Day (RDOD).
At a special meeting in City Hall Thursday night, Mayor Mark A. Lauretti signed a proclamation for the American Kennel Club's "Applause for Paws!" campaign, which focuses on keeping man's best friend healthy and happy.
Shelton's Trap Falls Kennel Club will host the RDOD event on Sept. 10 from 9:30 a.m. - 4 p.m. at River Walk Park.
This year, the Trap Falls Kennel Club event will honor America’s Canine Service Heroes by having Police Dog and Search & Rescue Demos, which will illustrate how these dogs perform an invaluable service to the community.
Admission is free but attendees should bring pet care items to donate, benefiting “Presents 4 Pets,” an organization that raises awareness about homeless animals, local shelters and rescue organizations. They also give much needed pet care supplies to the animals and help keep these shelters operational.

I find this completely ironic considering in the past 2 days the Shelton animal shelter has been scrambling to find a place for their dogs to be places (in other animals shelters in surrounding towns) because the animal shelter is in an unrepairable state that the building is just short of being condemned.
Mark is all talk and no action, if he was really concerned about responsible dog ownership, or the animals of the city at all, they would have an approval for a new animal shelter by the end of the business day today!

I have been gone from Shelton since 2002 and I have fond memories of the dog pound, I worked will cheryl adopted dogs, always donated towels, mats and blankets, food,. Bisquits and more. Have that many uncaring people moved to town? Or has money not been appropriately approprieted to support Cheryl and her team?
