Morgan Humane Society

Thought I would create blog to document my issues with the Fort Morgan, CO humane society. We adopted a dog thru them that ultimately had to be put down, due to his being a threat to society. The fact that the dog was vicious and prone to biting was not disclosed to us. This may, or may not, have been disclosed by the dog's previous owner, as people without the heart to euthanize their pet will say anything to transfer their responsibility to another party. For example, the intake facility may ask if the dog has a history of biting. The irresponsible owner will lie and perhaps state that the dog doesn't like their cat, or they have a new baby, or Dad got laid off, etc.,.....you get the picture. We have now incurred over $1300 of additional expenses to pay for medical damages the dog caused to other dogs and human beings, not to mention the cost for canine obedience school and hours spent training the dog. The liability should not be mine. Their methods and practices will be reported on in the near future, along with their response. BTW, their initial response to my plea for help was that we were over the 60 return limit and he was my problem now.

  2. I worked as the adoption/foster care coordinator for the Fort Morgan Humane Society from October 2010 until April 2011 when I was fired for my idea of testing animal temperament before allowing them to be adopted..I am sorry that you went through this. Is Crystal Tweeten still the executive director?? She should be fired for what she did to you and your wife.

    1. thanks for your response, sorry I didn't see this earlier. She amateurishly copy and pasted parts of emails to make it appear that she was a victim. Real POS.
