What this does is it disallows the public from walking in between the 3 kennel buildings. With the runs being half inner and half outer, any given dog can now be missed, or if it’s shy, may just choose to avoid interaction, leaving the person with no other options. If you are taking networking photos this presents another set of challenges. Worse yet, it totally blocks the public from seeing any of the dogs that are present on the right (inner) side of the quarantine section. From the inside of the building, that particular section is always gated and locked off, but at least you can normally walk OUTSIDE and interact with the dogs. With the caution tape out, they sit, totally unbeknownst to the public. This tape has continued to be up for many days in a row. What’s the deal?

The perplexing part of it all is that I was told that the tape is up because “the high winds at night blow shingles and debris off the roofs of the buildings.” Okay. So? Why can’t someone pick all that crap up before they open? They don’t open until noon each day, it’s not that difficult. Even if there was a legitimate excuse for the thorough tape job, why isn’t it being removed once they open their doors to the public? If they have to put it up again each night after they close, so be it. I don’t know why that would be necessary, but I’m not trying to argue with their logic. But for the love of God, at least go out of your way to take some of it down, so it doesn’t continue to give the majority of the public the visual impression that half of the shelter is OFF LIMITS. I can tell you this, there’s no construction going on. The only reason for that tape is if they were laying new concrete, and they aren’t doing that. So what gives? Why does the Carson shelter continue to blatantly do things that just overtly give the impression that they don’t care?
