The following post was made late Thursday night to the Facebook page of the Corinne T. Smith Animal Center:

To all my friends, supporters and animal lovers. It is with sadness to report that, at the direction of the board of directors, I will no longer be the shelter director. Thank you for the past 18 months of change, goals accomplished and love of Corinne T. Smith Animal Center. Please support my staff (family) and animals in this transition! ~ Leona Cleveland
