Upcoming meeting... You don't want to miss it!
 

I'm asking you for our pets, no... I'm begging you, to come to the County Commissioners meeting on October 24th, this Tuesday at Colony Cottage Rec Center at 5:00 PM. Tell the Commissioners how you feel about how your tax dollars are being spent. No Kill saves money in the long run, but even if it didn't, we all know that Sumter County is NOT a poor county and there is no reason to kill our pets! Those of you who have been coming to the meetings are hearing the stories of the "mistakes" and "oops" when they kill adoptable pets. The pregnant dog with a rescue on the way to get her. THey killed her! They said it was a mistake. They have a lot of mistakes!!! 35 to 40% of them. It's up to us to stop this. By going No Kill, we will put processes in place to stop the overabundance of animals while saving the pets we have. Tell the commissioners what you want.

Below is a current day comparison between a government that listens and one that sticks to the failed, lazy, past practices of the status quo.




It's all about ACCOUNTABILITY and holding those responsible, accountable.


For the residents, taxpayers, and voters in Sumter County, ask county administrator Arnold and your five ELECTED commissioners to explain the numbers below.
