Buffalo City Council has shaken things up by switching animal protective services from St. Francis Animal Shelter to a new kid on the block, the Buffalo Kennel Club, and it’s got a lot of people concerned and asking questions.
People want to know why the City Council decided it was time for a change. What made them pick this provider? What are the credentials and facilities at Buffalo Kennel Club? What is the fate of unclaimed dogs? And importantly, does this decision unfairly favor a full-time City employee who works at City Hall?
We asked Councilwoman Myra Camino, who’s been right in the thick of the issue, to answer these questions and more.
