On or about June 21, 2017, after assisting an elderly lady, who, had the complete road of Camino Seco backed up attempting to gather up a stray dog, I stopped to assist eventually getting the animal to safety.

Due to Pima county's lack of resources it was relayed via telephone, the dog cannot be picked up as, Pima County has no resources. The soonest it would be is "five days". .

The employee begged me to drop off the dog. Upon arrival, I was 10 minutes early. I was told by several employees, "we are not open yet", to wait in 108 degree heat and we will get to you when we can. (Very rude and obnoxious, as if I was a "dog dumper"!)

I explained I was "told" to bring the dog here. I handed the dog off to a young employee, who, told his supervisor I dumped a dog and they called the police on me immediately. Never again.

My future donations will go to the Tucson Jazz Institute.
