Barn On Baseline/Dekalb Animal Shelter
How do you help the animals in a shelter if the Director won't let you? How do the animals get the help they need when nobody cares? Well we all care and are willing to do anything to improve the conditions at the shelter. This is Bert who was adopted by Drew & Katy: Bert weighed only 3 pounds when Drew and Katy adopted him in June 2018. He sat at Barn On Baseline dying in his cage. Bert is now on the way to recovery. According to many volunteers I've spoken with, this is not an isolated incident. I was there on a 90 degree day in August for two hours. The dogs were in the outside kennels barking the entire time with no water given to them. Nobody came to calm them down. In September I went in to see if there were disclosures on the cages as required by state law. There was nothing. Roberta the shelter Director told me she didn't need to disclose because the Illinois Department Of Agriculture said this was perfectly fine.
