Critics want outside leader at San Antonio ACS, but two finalists are current staffers

With Shannon Sims quietly retiring last week as director of San Antonio’s embattled Animal Care Services department, the search for his replacement is heating up. Sims’ two-and-a-half-year tenure as ACS director was mired in controversy after a slew of headline-making dog attacks rocked San Antonio. Animal advocates have also criticized the department’s low live-release rate and blasted it for accidentally euthanizing of three dogs last summer that were not supposed to be put down.
