GALAX, Va. – Officials continue to make changes at a local animal shelter after it was criticized for allegedly fostering an unhealthy environment that led to permanent injury and several dead animals. 10 News obtained copies of an unannounced December inspection at the Galax-Carroll-Grayson Animal Shelter. [Galax officials respond to complaint of alleged negligent management at animal shelter]“We’re underway to address the concerns the inspector had,” said Galax city manager Keith Barker.

He believes overcrowding led to overwhelming the previous team.
