WASHINGTON COUNTY – (WPXI)- A humane officer for Washington County said she is on call 24 hours a day, 7 days a week but she is not getting paid. “I’d had too many calls in a row, too many nights in a row” Cathy Cunningham said. Cunningham recently took to Facebook in an open letter to Washington County Commissioners, asking them for money in the budget to hire a humane officer. Back in August when nearly 100 dogs were rescued from a puppy mill, Cathy Cunningham worked with state police and the Humane Society to save them but she says she was the only one who wasn’t paid. Over the last three months, she says she has rescued pigs, countless dog and cats, cows and chickens. “Washington County is not poor and the fact that this is ignored has now taken me to the point of anger,” Cunningham said. The Washington Area Humane Society has one full-time paid worker and one part-time. They work from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. and will go out after hours for emergencies. The rest of all after-hours calls go to Cunningham or another unpaid volunteer. But after 12 years, she says can’t afford to continue and worries what will happen to the animals. “Who is going to take care of the animals in the middle of the night or on a Sunday or Christmas Day. I’ve been called out on Christmas Day,” Cunningham said.
