This is everything I've been saying! 👏

[Hannah Carl @Hannah_Humane]

Nowadays, my motto is "Create good adopters, don't screen for them." And although I've moved up the career ladder quite a bit from adoption counseling, I do intend to lead by example in my communications and outreach.

Adoptions counseling should not be adoption gatekeeping.

[Hannah Carl @Hannah_Humane]

My views and philosophies have evolved so much in the 12 years that I've been involved in animal welfare.

At my first animal shelter job, I was 23 years old. I was hired as an adoption counselor and I set out with the intention of only placing animals in the "best" homes.

[Hannah Carl @Hannah_Humane]

I learned that most people who show up are receptive to education. They're there because they want to do a good thing, so even if they aren't prepared for pet ownership when they walk through the door, it was my job to counsel and support them, not make them prove themselves.

[Hannah Carl @Hannah_Humane]

I will always defend animal shelters that are faced with euthanizing due to space despite utilizing every tool available to them. I have worked for those shelters. But MCACC actively turns their backs to people and data that can help, and people need to know that.

[Nathan Winograd @nwinograd]

@JadeM2816 @jypseywheel Because they kill in the face of readily-available, cost-effective lifesaving alternatives they refuse to implement. And, as the Maricopa example shows, they punish those who try.

@HeatherjoyK @nwinograd You can also follow me on Instagram and TikTok, both of which I am using as a platform to spread awareness and outreach on animal sheltering topics. @ hannah.humane

[Hannah Carl @Hannah_Humane]

@SkipTheT @nwinograd They technically never stated a reason, because yes that's exactly what it would have been.

[Hannah Carl @Hannah_Humane]

@Amadrona @nwinograd Support and follow me on social media! I no longer have this job to use as a platform to speak on animal welfare issues, but I am trying to use Instagram and TikTok as a way to reach and educate people. @ hannah.humane

[Hannah Carl @Hannah_Humane]

@HeatherjoyK @nwinograd I'm doing okay! No help necessary! Looking forward to bigger and better things in the future, hopefully still in animal sheltering.

[Hannah Carl @Hannah_Humane]

@Sailfish157 What do you mean? I fostered Zoltan to get him out of the shelter.

[Hannah Carl @Hannah_Humane]

@daicing @nwinograd I wish.

[Hannah Carl @Hannah_Humane]

Thank you for sharing @nwinograd

[Nathan Winograd @nwinograd]

1. After Zoltan was scheduled to be killed, Hannah Carl, a staff member at Maricopa County Animal Care & Control, did a live broadcast on TikTok to promote him. She vowed to stay on the air until he was adopted: "He deserves someone to love him."

[Hannah Carl @Hannah_Humane]

@AndyWeprin @MCanimalcare Thank you for "getting it." I am done with that shelter, but I am NOT done with this work. There is still so much more to fight for.

[Hannah Carl @Hannah_Humane]

‼️ This is my official statement on my termination from
@mcanimalcare.

Was it worth it? 🐾 Absolutely. ❤️

[Hannah Carl @Hannah_Humane]

@nwinograd Submitted a few days ago. Hope you got it! Look forward to hearing from you.

[Hannah Carl @Hannah_Humane]

One small decision kept Zoltan from leaving the shelter in a trash bag. And somehow it also cost me the most fulfilling job I’ve ever had. https://t.co/NyxRUifvri

[Hannah Carl @Hannah_Humane]

I want to be clear that @MCanimalcare consists of MANY advocates working there. They're just a lot better at keeping it under wraps than I am. And the fact that they feel they need to speaks to a whole different issue. I'm an advocate for the people just as much as the animals.

[Debra Love-Goff🟦 @DebraLoveGoff1]

@Hannah_Humane @AndyWeprin @MCanimalcare So sorry their only advocate was mistreated and fired. You aren't the first nationwide and it is the dogs that suffer your loss!💔💔💔💔

[Hannah Carl @Hannah_Humane]

Unfortunately, regressive shelters can only be helped if they want to be helped.
