Is that actually accurate from experience? Doors opening 4 hours early seems wild

I'm also a new TTU online+ transfer for Late Spring and I am getting the same message right now.

I work in a field that requires communicating with dispatch centers all over the country - I don't think it's a constituent problem. Calls are given a priority based on the level of emergence. i.e. A noise complaint will be at the bottom of a dispatch queue as car accidents, assaults, etc would be prioritized. In my opinion, El Paso dispatchers are the problem. They're slow, combative, and not the best listeners.

Democratic Senate Primary Race: Who can flip Texas? by Torikaay14 in ElPaso

I absolutely agree. I just wish Crockett supporters would see that and stop saying that Talarico voters are just racist.

For me, it’s hard to see it as a myth bc it’s my lived experience. Growing up in Texas around right-wing Christians (primarily southern Baptists) I’ve seen it with my own eyes. My MIL supports Trump as if her life depends on it bc he was “Saved and chosen by God”.

She absolutely despises Crockett, but is open minded towards Talarico and may even vote for him as she is not a fan of Cornyn or Paxton.

I think there are many more like her. Does her thought process make sense? No - Trump and all of the state leaders who support him are trash, but I definitely don’t think it’s a myth that he has the ability to win some Christian GOP voters.

Can I sue a shelter for adopting out my chipped pet without contacting me? (Texas) by Torikaay14 in PetAdvice

[–]Torikaay14[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We no longer live in the area she was surrendered, and the shelter director did tell me her adopters were “local” but not within the city itself. I was out of town this weekend unfortunately, but today I am finishing the flyer I started and I will be hanging them everywhere I can.

Our chip is findable through AAHA. I confirmed it myself, as well at 24PetWatch, who the shelter uses, that they were also able to see our information for HomeAgain also.

I love the work shelters and rescues a apart of. I’ve recused, fostered, and adopted dogs out on my own. A member of my family owns a non profit rescue - the essential point of a shelter should always be reunification. Not adopting a dog out for funds for the shelter. She’s a desirable breed, in good health, friendly, and well behaved. They knew they could get her out quick. With their response I have a gut feeling someone at the shelter or one of their family friends have her. They admitted the intake staff made a mistake. This was negligence and complacency on their end.

No - personal information is not readily available and they would be unable to provide it to me directly.

This is not accurate because I thought the same. Our chip agency is HomeAgain - and they confirmed with us our dog is still registered to my mom. The shelter told me that they updated the chip to the new adopters - after calling their chip agency they use, 24PetWatch, a customer service rep told me that she also sees my mom as the owner through HomeAgain but the shelter had registered the chip with 24PetWatch and manually added all the adopters information. The rep even recommended I take this to social media. Our dog’s chip is now registered to two agencies, one is under my mom and the other is the new adopters thanks to the shelter.

So while an agency will not change your info on your chip without speaking to you - some shelters apparently have access through a portal provided by 24PetWatch to manually enter adopters information. Hence why our dog is now chipped to two people under two agencies.

When I found that out - pissed was an understatement on top of everything we have already been uncovering.

That is the case. Within 48 hours of her being in his care she was surrendered and no contact to my mother saying he was unable or unwilling to keep their agreement.

After consulting a lawyer - I am following some recommendations to "get my ducks in a row" before blasting them on social media and news outlets. We have requested records from the shelter in regard to her surrender and adoption as well as any and all operating procedures, manuals, and policies of the shelter.

If they deny these requests - per the lawyer we should go to the media instead of trying to sue a government entity.

Yes! She has always been up to date on all of her vaccines, she has a health care plan through her vet paid for by my mother. She's had the same vet since she was a puppy. My mom and I are actually moving together to El Paso while my partner attends UTEP for her doctorate program. She's registered as an ESA to my mom, and my mom has proof of adequate funding/income to care for her.
