Prosecutor Flaiz and Commissioner Dvorak need to be replaced. What a disgrace to Geauga County. This was an ambush by Flaiz and Dvorak for political reasons which have been noted on social media.
So sad this was handled this way, should have been handled in executive session. Get it together guys and work together to best serve the county. Thank you commissioners Spidalieri, and Lennon for their kind words, but they really should have put a stop to it.
Matt, the Dog shelter handles stray dogs. If not a stray, the Dog situation or abuse or neglect situation falls under the jurisdiction of a Humane officer, which is the Humane Society.
The sheriff and Matt need to iron out this issue with the dog shelter. The Sheriff needs to lay out the legalities for the unique situations that the Dog Warden faces. Agree no common sense policies, it needs CLEARLY spelled out so that Matt can successfully do his job. Expectations need to be CLEARLY spelled out, better communication is needed.
The reason why they were bringing dogs from other states was because there were natural disasters and people died and their dogs were left behind. The area the dog came from had no resources to be in the area anymore and they did an adoption day to get them new homes. The other ones were rescued from a lab and they got them adopted out to other people. As a commissioner of Geauga Co. he should know this since it was posted on social media. It seems to me that this is a money grab since the shelter isn't on the budget of the county but 100% self-donated run. Geauga Co is a generous county with amazing citizens. And this shelter is the first place they come to when their pet is missing or they want to adopt a pet. The staff is above amazing. They do everything in their power by the book to get these dogs adopted. This shelter also goes out to other overfilled shelters to get these dogs out of the crowd and find them reliable families. EVERY person that has been adopted from the shelter as far as I have seen, has come back to visit the employees and these dogs are in a good place with wonderful families. They know what they are doing and what they are doing right now is working for the staff, county, the dogs, and the citizens. Why stop something that is working for everyone?
Wouldn’t their next of kin (who would be one of the first people contacted anyway, right?) be the person to take the dog and find them a home? With the Humane society holding the pet (if needed) until their family picks them up?
Matt has always been professional and assisted me with any questions regarding animals. Just watching this video, it appears to me that Jim Dvorak set Matt up at this meeting and intentionally tried to make him look bad. Good for you, Matt, for having copies of paperwork proving him to be lying. Looks like nothing more than a witch hunt to me. I think a large part of the problem is people, specifically the Sheriff's Department, not knowing which department to contact for different Dog situations. The commissioners and the.police department need this explained to them. Incredibl w

It's amazing to me that public officials are clueless about what the Dog Warden and the Humane officer responsibilities are

The Dog Warden handles stray dogs. The Humane Society handles owner animals.
