Another Little Sad Story

They were a couple of nice stories about Kennel Inn, It was an exceptional service.  Through the veterinary assistant course at Seneca they saved hundreds of sick, neglected  and abandoned animals. 
The students took  animals home  and fostered them until they were well.
An outdoor  run  provided fresh air and exercise. At certain  times of the day,  we could hear the dogs like we heard the children playing at recess when they were in school. 
Then somebody complained about the noise and the. animals couldn't  be allowed out any more.
Somebody complained about the noise the kids made as well. 
Kennel Inn  didn't have fancy accommodation  but as I recall,for some reason they couldn't be allowed to build.
With Seneca , they  provided  a rabies vaccination program ,spaying  and an adoption service.A student who had nursed a sick animal  back to health often couldn't let it go.  
The fee to recover a pet was $75.00
The annual cost to the town at the time the contract was terminated  was  about $79,000.
The new  contract  cost $20,000  more and it wasn't long before it jumped to $50,000.more. .
The association  with Kennel Inn didn't end nicely. 
Individuals  and groups appearing out of  nowhere were always welcome  at Aurora Council  with horrifying stories of abuse and neglect of the animals..
Markham and Richmond Hill maintained their contracts for some time  after Aurora's ended.
But eventually the business folded/
Fourteen Aurora folk  lost their jobs and the town lost  about $69.000 a year in tax revenue.   .
