Ted Colley, Staff Reporter for the Surrey Now Newspaper writes "Archibald also said the sick dogs could not be moved out of the shelter because foster homes for contagious animals are hard to find".

Ms Archibald neglects to mention the fact that one of the six dogs was spoken for by a rescue group just days prior to the dog's destruction. On arrival in Surrey, we were told that there were not one but two wonderful adoptions pending for the little black cocker spaniel. We offered to return and pick the cocker up if the adoptions fell through, all that was needed was a phone call.

Not one single phone call was made to the rescue group that had offered to take her. Not one phone call...not to save her...nor to tell of her demise. The little cocker spaniel died needlessly. Is this the Surrey manager's idea of working with rescue groups?
