Maryland lawmaker aims to reduce euthanasia in animal shelters
A bill pre-filed by a Maryland House member would set standards for animal shelters, with the goal of reaching a �save rate� of 90%.
The bill, sponsored by Del. Mark Chang, would require shelters to take a series of steps to reunite animals found as strays with their owners when possible.
The bill would require shelters to make an attempt to identify an animal by checking for license tags or microchips within 24 hours of housing the animal. They would also have to prominently post their hours and the process for owners to recover pets who end up there.
