■ There is community concern that the wolf-dog will be destroyed upon capture <br /> and that is leading to interference in catching her (but the reality is that there <br /> is always a risk of euthanasia if there is no placement). <br /> ■ Bryan suggested that if people are worried about euthanizing dog and cost is <br /> the barrier to relocation, there may be a way to engage the public for <br /> fundraising. Right now,the sanctuaries are full and cost is not the barrier at <br /> this time. Dr. Strong shared that there is a zoo transporter willing to move the <br /> wolf-dogs at cost if placement found on the East Coast. Dr. Strong will let the <br /> ASAB know if a placement is found and funds need to be raised. <br /> o AS brought 3 dogs to campus to UNC at the request of students to mental health <br /> awareness day on October 12, 2021.
