I don't post here anymore but I'll add on to this because I am from the high desert area:

the high amount of euthanizing is so sad, and it's economical and bureaucratic - gross imo. I've rescued and fostered dozens of animals growing up in the HD (even now, I am currently on month 2 of feeding a local stray dog who got out during 4th of July and has no family claiming/searching for her at all), and a huge problem here is that the city of Victorville refused to renew its contract with the Victor Valley Animal Protective League (VVAPL) last year, despite being aware that VVAPL is doing them a favor to take in animals as strays/surrenders because Victorville doesn't have the capacity at their facilities for the city. so, VVAPL would take in Victorville animals, but had requested a higher fee bc VVAPL is actually based in Apple Valley. this failure to renew the contract with the city officials (who told VVAPL no, but without official words) just happened to coincide with VVAPL's loss of their only full-time vet. when VVAPL shut down, Victorville lost a huge resource in having a facility outside of city limits that could be helpful to offset how much the population has boomed within the last 5 years - and the pet population, too.

I grew up in the HD and I love it, it's home. but the mentality for a large part of the population here - and I'm talking about everyone as a general, including Victorville, Adelanto, Phelan, Oak Hills, Lucerne Valley, Barstow, Apple Valley - is that they don't consider their animals as separate living beings, just objects. people underestimate how fast the HD has grown, and along with that comes irresponsible pet owners and a city that just doesn't have the capacity to handle that. I know in Victorville that animal control will not pick up strays anymore under two conditions: aggression or injury. I won't get super into the judgmental aspect of the lack of accountability or responsibility of the community who lives here, but I'll just say that the system here is broken. and I don't know what a good, viable, long-term solution is to make it better. spay and neutering is great, but there has to be a fundamental shift in the idea of animals as "property" that seems to persist.
