The mayor's office put out a statement that thanked Alfred - and says, "We are in the process of conducting a search to find her replacement and in the meantime Ivan Capifali, the deputy director, will manage the agency's day-to-day operations."
The BGA says Capifali got a job at Animal Control in 2012 after being laid off by another department and that he had no experience in animal rescue and welfare.
Seven months ago, an employee at Chicago Animal Care and Control accidentally left a dog in a van for five days and nights with almost no food and water.
