The nonprofit's board called it job abandonment. It started in November when the shelter manager, Michael Santucci, announced he was leaving work to go to Rockland County Executive Ed Day's office to protest the board's actions and inactions, including work conditions.

Please sign this petition to show the board at Hi Tor Shelter that you care about adoptions and are concerned about unnecessary euthanasia of adoptable dogs.

The County of Rockland has traditionally provided some funding to and made county facilities available to Hi Tor for animal control and care. Hi Tor is the only animal care and control shelter in Rockland, taking in more than 2,500 animals each year. However, Orangetown pays 100 percent for ferals to be fixed.
For cats, the town kicks in 40 and residents pay 30 for spay/neuter. The money comes through the New York State Companion Animal Capital Fund, the first state-funded program in the nation to support critical improvement projects at animal shelters. Dissatisfied with Hi- Tor, the town signed an agreement with the Hudson Valley Humane Society to handle its stray dogs.
ROCKLAND COUNTY, NY - The Rockland County Department of Health has won a $500,000 grant to help replace the current Hi-Tor Animal Care Center in Pomona.
