It makes more sense to try and support the system already in place on the island (the local humane society - SAGA).

I can only hope that my upcoming comments on my experiences will be received in the spirit that it is given - to assist SAGA in getting more support from the community.

I have volunteered my time there on numerous occasions and struggle with the organization's leadership / culture. With the exception of the Vets (Heather included) the paid employees display a lack of responsiveness (to customers and the vet), seem very unorganized, and, overall appear to have a lack of concern about the animals. This has been disturbing and frustrating to me. While the facility itself is bare bones and space is limited, this doesn't seem to be the primary issue. Maybe there is burnout?

While I can only guess what the root issues are, I am committed to the animal issues on the island and will continue to look for other ways to help.
