 Adoptions
make everyone smile at Animal Services! With
your help adoptions have quadrupled in the
past five years. Loving families adopted
3,400 pets last year. For $35- or less you
can choose a dog or cat to be a part of your
family! Adoptable animals will be vaccinated
and sterilized prior to moving to their new
homes.
Animal Services addresses animal welfare
and overpopulation issues, encourages
responsible pet ownership, and provides a Shelter & Adoption Center for
lost or homeless animals. The center responds to approximately 900 calls
from citizens daily, provides public awareness programs, promotes animal
adoptions, and coordinates emergency programs affecting animals or people
via animals. The Shelter & Adoption Center is open to the public six
days a week. An Animal Welfare Trust Fund has been established to provide
extra services, such as special food, needed by some animals but not provided
for in the department's budget. This Trust Fund is supported by donations
from caring citizens.
