| Oh, no! Gaston County Animal shelter is a high volume kill shelter that still uses inhumane gas chambers! North Carolina Gas Chamber Workshop with Live Victims – VIDEO For the Love of the Dog It failed a state inspection just a year ago. Lost animals getting killed within 24 hrs in violation of NCGS 130A-192, because, according to the vet who "euthanized" it, "it was old and skinny and blind." Apparently Gaston County Animal Control does not believe that pet owners have a right to have their lost pet returned to them if it is "old" or "skinny" or "blind." Animals are refused to be held overnight even though rescue groups agreed to pick it up the next day...The failed inspection stated that the disposition paperwork on the animals, which is required by state law to be created and preserved, was either incomplete or nonexistent. Either broken or no food or water bowls was common. Please speak up for Gaston County Animals--Killed in Gas Chamber (crimes, neighborhood) - Charlotte - North Carolina (NC) - Page 2 - City-Data Forum |

| I looked at the website and it said that "OTHERS" are not available for adoption. This poor boy is listed as an "other". Does that mean he is scheduled to be killed no matter what? I want to reach through my computer screen and hug him. |

Gaston County requires proof of a current rabies vaccination or they destroy the animal, even kittens and puppies. If this guy is a stray, he would have no inoculations records. Animal Shelter News | North Carolina Gaston County Animal Shelter is the worst of the worst. 9 out of 10 dogs picked up are destroyed. They die a horrible death in inhumane gas chambers. | |

| oh my gosh. so even if someone were willing to get in the car and go get him, without vaccination records....there is zero hope? he is a 5-6 hour drive from here which is frankly nothing at all if it meant saving his life. i am heartsick over this. wth is with that place? i am going to have nightmares of those gas chambers for certain tonight. how absolutely disgusting!

| i don't understand this at all because from the way i interpreted the homepage of this joint, they are partnered up with local vets and provide a host of vaccines etc as part of the "adoption" process. i must have missed something? this makes me so sad.....and really angry, too.
