. At the same time, the department lacks volunteers who are trained to handle larger dogs, so those dogs are caged for longer periods without walks. The confinement can stress dogs, making it harder for them to be adopted and putting them on a track to be euthanized.Appearing at Monday’s hearing, Annette Ramirez, Animal Services’ interim general manager, told Blumenfield and other council members that Bass’ proposed budget doesn’t include dozens of positions sought by the department.
Hollins said Bass’ team budgeted a high number of resolution positions because of the expectation that a general manager will soon join the department.
