ROGGIN REPORT SQUEEZE PLAY FEBRUARY 18, 2025

This episode touches on Riverside County’s Animal Services, which has faced repeated setbacks despite spending over $2 million on a consultant. The county has hired Mary Martin as the new director, but she lacks experience running a no-kill shelter. The ongoing inefficiency is frustrating, as previous recommendations have yet to be implemented. It’s a clear case of unqualified leadership and poor system management, and the residents continue to suffer from these shortcomings. Volunteers at the Palm Springs Animal Shelter have long offered to help, but the county has been slow to embrace their expertise.
