This really needs to be stopped. Susan at TAPF has listed some ways to contact this shelter and tell them what a terrible idea this is.
Someone good at search can probably find direct e mail contacts, maybe at the shelter website.? My internet is so slow since the "upgrade" it's impossible to search for anything.

I'm waiting for her interview:

Commissioner Roger Wolfson was the board member clearly pushing the vegan dog food agenda. Some quotes from his presentation…
“feeding meat to our dogs isn’t healthy for the dogs”
“not only can dogs do well on plant based diets, they can do better”
“many if not most of the longest living dogs on this planet have proven to be vegan dogs”
