We, as Gaston County residents, are concerned about the guidelines considered to be 'adequate' for Gaston County pets. We would like to work cooperatively with county officials to improve upon those guidelines and further improve the accessibility to spay/neuter, so that the unwanted cats and dogs don't end up living by these same guidelines. Let's bring spay/neuter to those communities which can best be served and enhance the local Vet Tech program in the process. Let us PARTNER with officials to move Gaston County pet conditions forward. "A carrier isn't a house. Ice isn't water."
To keep a pet outside with no shade, cover or tied up with no way to protect itself is abuse.
