The proposed expansion of a veteran service dog program in San Antonio has been criticized as voters decide whether to give it more than $2 million in city bond money.
71 dogs
Residents who attended and took part in bond committee meetings last year said conflicting figures were presented on how many dogs had been transferred from Animal Care Services to K9s For Warriors. “It’ll become very achievable and we look forward to doing it,” said Diamond, who added that K9s For Warriors now employs 28 people in San Antonio.
“I think when you start the retailing of service dogs to other areas, rather than where they’re supposed to be, especially if you’ve got a bond that’s building the facility for the training of that dog, what is the benefit to San Antonio,” said Sherwood during an interview with the Defenders.
The three veterans listed in the press release for the event all reside well outside the Greater San Antonio area. “They bundle it all together so that people feel obligated to vote for it, because if they say ‘no,’ then they’re saying ‘no’ to these other projects,” said St. Cyr, referring to the possible expansion of K9s For Warriors being grouped in the same section of the bond as police and fire facilities.
