We the undersigned believe it would be in the best interest of the Marshall County taxpayers and for the welfare of animals in the community to accept the Humane Society's Proposed lease of their facility located on US Highway 68 East to the County Animal Shelter. We believe spending taxpayer money to add on to the existing center is not the best option for the county when there is a free building already constructed. We also believe it should be dually considered that while the county 'saves' up the money for a possible expansion, animals will be put down due to a lack of space as the facility has been at capacity a majority of this year. We urge the Fiscal Court to reconsider the motion to enter into the lease agreement with the Humane Society, forming a valuable new partnership which will address both the animal control and spay/neuter issue in the county.

Seeing one hundred people recognize that we have a perfectly good building ready to save these animals is overwhelming. My heart aches for the dogs and cats trapped in our current overcrowded facility, but your response confirms I am not alone in fighting for this solution.

I have spent my week looking into the eyes of the animals currently waiting for space that we simply do not have. The fiscal court remains quiet on the lease offer but we are keeping the pressure on them because every day of waiting puts more lives at risk.

Stop the expansion plans and just partner with them. It saves us money and saves lives. win win.

The overcrowding is getting out of hand. please dont let these animals suffer because the court is being stubborn about a building.

Why waste my tax money on building something new when a building is already right there ready to go?? This makes zero sense.

SO SAD that animals are getting put down just because of 'lack of space' when the county can literally just pick up this lease. fix it already!!

Use the facility that is already built. We dont need to throw away cash on a construction project when these poor dogs need a place to stay now.

Common sense solution here. Let the county use the existing building and stop dragging your feet.
