Check out WRAL video of the Montgomery county shelter. Looked up Johnston county and we are euthenizing about half of the dogs and 90% of the cats. It is more humane that Montgomery Co. is using lethal injection with their limited budget. Johnston Co. continues to use the gas chamber even though it costs more and it is cruel and inhumane.

Here's their link: http://www.ipetitions.com/petition/citizens-for-animal-shelter-reform/ Send the Johnston County Commissioners your email, ask to stop the gas chamber and allow in volunteers.

That is heartbreaking...wish I owned or worked for a construction company to help Montgomery County improve the shelter & get that adoption center built. Thanks for posting all the JC stuff too - already had signed the petition, keeping fingers crossed it will help change things here too.
