Municipal animal shelter proposal
Summary
Shelter advocates, veterinarians and residents urged the county to build a municipal shelter, citing $300,000+ paid to an SPCA that turns away abuse cases and leaves law enforcement with nowhere to take animals. The County Administrator defended the $8,000/month abuse-case contract.

Abused and neglected animals, law enforcement, and residents with nowhere to turn.
Animals in abuse cases currently go unsheltered; volunteers shoulder costs personally.
