'Stop,Look and Listen' which many of us were taught as young children, still applies today in terms of educating ourselves about what real animal welfare is. It may take some time, but eventually the reality of why the same SPCA that takes actions such as this -

"June 16th, frustrated, angry, and saddened SPCA staff and volunteers, did the right thing, and stole Cheech from the SPCA.

The SPCA set the police on them, made more threats to kill Cheech, demonized them for setting loose the most dangeous dog they had ever seen." -

does nothing about situations described in your post as - "I have been told one of the dogs now has an injured paw which is quite swollen
The husky/male has been there for at least 5 years. The chained female I have no idea how long she’s been there. The one nurse I spoke to told me she’d been there “at least 2 years” since she worked at the hospital. A neighbor said “oh they’ve been there forever”.

I believe that AAS continues to stay true to its purpose and educates the public every day by reminding us in many ways and in its own words that "Silence is collaboration" and that it is necessary to "Take sides. Neutrality helps the oppressor, never the victim. Silence encourages the tormentor, never the tormented."
