Subject: DNA - North Carolina Transports To Rondout Valley That Kill

Over the past several month's there continues to be an increasing number of rescue railroads and shelters who are transporting dogs from overcrowded shelter's to the controversial Rondout Valley in Accord NY.
These dogs are supposed to be being "rescued" and adopted into the community.

Many of you will remember Rondout Valley (Accord NY) as the setting for Sue Sternberg's recent controversial Shelter Dogs that depicts her controversial Assess A Pet temperament testing marketed through her frequent seminars throughout the country.

The premise for arranging these "humane" transports is that there is a shortage of "good" shelter dogs in many northeastern communities like Accord and a surplus of shelter dogs facing euthanasia which makes this a win-win situation.


The worst sin towards our fellow creatures is not to hate them, but to be indifferent to them. That's the essence of inhumanity. -George Bernard Shaw


Inhumanity towards shelter dogs only guilty of being society's homeless pets often takes on many forms. Be it the inhumanity of grouping the days "excess" pets to be killed into an inhumane but economical gas chamber where their lives are ended or the extreme inhumanity of offering a shelter dog the hope of a new life in a northeastern rescue only to kill that pet when it arrives "home" after a long transport. It would be incredibly inhumane to load a dog on a transport knowing full well death awaited that dog at the end of the road.

One such shelter that should be a big DNA for any compassionate shelter transport is the Rondout Valley. The highly controversial Sternberg has frequently boasted about her master plan to kill a great number of shelter dogs who fail to fit her "jewel in the rough" ideal of an adoptable pet.
While there are few who would argue that we all think of our own dogs are our private collection of jewels in the rough often times the true beauty is in a dog who only required a little polish to create a remarkable human/canine bond.

Killing any shelter dog without exploring all the options available at retraining should be an image that is distressful to anyone involved in canine rescue. Using a controversial unscientific tests that uses taunting of a dogs stress points to push a dog into a failing grade that is then used as justification for killing the dog is cruel and abusive.

"I do not understand why so many loads of animals are taken to her shelter to die. She has certified people here to test the animals, and they still say that many are killed when they get to New York. A very small percentage of the animals at the local shelter ever make it to the adoption area. There is no chance for local people to adopt them, yet they endure the long ride to Sue's place. That is unsettling. I noticed that Sue only has about 5 animals available for adoption. Are they the only ones who could pass the (TT) test? Would they pass it again tomorrow?" - Johnson County NC Volunteer May 5th 2005

Recently I was contacted by a NC animal advocate who pointed out her growing concern over the number of transports being arranged from her Johnson County shelter and transported to Rondout Valley only to be killed upon arriving at Rondout. The two "local" rescue groups involved are Saving Grace and the Animal Protection League.

Over the past few years I have become aware of many southern shelters who have been approached by Sternberg seeking to transport high volumes of shelter dogs to her shelter at Rondout Valley. Shelters in West Virginia, Wisconsin, Mississippi, Louisiana - it seemed that no shelter was out of her reach.

Yes, it would appear that all of these dogs should be offered the promise of rescue that I'm sure many who help with these transports believes to be the case. However, rather than filling her kennel at Rondout Valley with adoptable gems from the south many of these dogs are being killed
upon arrival at Sue's shelter. Instead of a warm room in Rondout Valley's adoption room these dogs are being carted of to their last meal of chicken McNuggets and killed instead. "I don't know how any animal (shelter dog) could pass the test after such a long, stressful journey" writes a NC Shelter Volunteer. The facts are clear in the case of both Saving Grace and Johnson County Animal Protection League. Both leaders of these shelters are certified in TT and the dogs are being tested before leaving Johnson County.

Ulli Mattern, founder and president of JCAPL received here TT training from Sue herself. Her friendship with Sternberg predates her arrival in beautiful Johnson County NC where she moved from NY. She has been called a "Sue Groupie" by her own vice-president. While it is common knowledge from Sternberg's many seminar lectures that Sue's goal is to "eliminate" many of the shelter dogs throughout the country who by process of failing her Assess A Pet TT don't fit the mold of "jewel in the rough" there is a fear by local rescue groups that Mattern might have the same goal as well.

Mattern's views on shelter dogs would be considered extremely eccentric as she not only supports Sue Sternberg's philosophy on shelter dogs but supports gas chambers in North Carolina shelters as well as selling "excess" shelter dogs to research. Talk about the essence of inhumanity towards shelter dogs.

Obviously the practice of "railroading" dogs from southern shelters to a northeastern "rescue" destination that practices mass killing of dogs who fail the absurd Sternberg Assess A Pet should outrage the rescue community. The fact that two different temperament tests result in entirely different perceptions of a dogs adoption status should offer insight how incredibly inaccurate these tests can be.

It is time that this sick dirty rotten business is exposed and stopped before more dogs are offered a glimmer of hope only to see that hope snatched at the hands of a crazed canine killer.

Those who choose to participate in this senseless carnage should be ashamed to call themselves rescuers. For those of you out their who will accuse me of "rattling the cages" to push my anti-temperament testing agenda my message is to look deep inside yourself and ask yourself where the issue of fairness towards dogs already punished by society fit's in.

If there ever was someone who deserved to be DNA on all rescue lists it would be Sue Sternberg and her Rondout Valley Shelter. Shipping dogs to Rondout Valley is a betrayal to the rescuers creed of doing all possible in attempting to rehome our nation's homeless pets.
