We can all tell from the Abbeville paper's article that Michelle is passionate about animals since she "had a tear in her eye" when she watched the dogs being gassed. We know that she got the job because she is on the same page as the police jurors--wanting to kill the dogs quickly. Why can't a person adopt a dog from the pound as stated? Is it because they don't want anyone seeing the bad situation the dogs are held in?

They are euthanizing the dogs with a gas chamber, plus the pound is overrun with pit bulls, that will never be adopted because people don't want to get killed by these vicious animals.

You can adopt dogs and cats from the pound but it is necessary to go through Vermilion Animal Aid which is a good thing because not everyone who wants a pet is suited to own one ...and they screen the potential adoptive homes. The animals are housed in adequate facilities now, which could not be said just a few short years ago. They also need volunteers to foster animals until they can be placed into good homes, which also saves lives. You can find more info on how to adopt from there by going to petfinder.com and typing in your zipcode...
