An anesthesiologist by trade, this doctor for humans is trying to save the lives of animals at the Los Angeles county shelter in Carson. And the odds are against her. A dog picked up on the street with no tags can be put down after four days, that's four days to connect with someone walking thru the shelter. So Evelyn Conley takes a picture of every adoptable animal, and brings these pictures directly into your home with the help of the Internet. Just sit down at your computer, and in a matter of minutes you can see the pictures of every dog and cat in shelters all over Southern California.
Time is of the essence in rescue.
And that includes spaying or neutering. In fact, she says, these animals often make great pets because they are starved for affection. They get it, I've heard this more than once. Unfortunately, an empty kennel usually signifies the end of the line. None of these adoptable dogs that get put to sleep really deserve it, it's so sad.
