The Board of Supervisors approved a public/private partnership to expand needed spay and neuter services throughout the county.
“Access to spay and neuter services is vital to reduce the number of unwanted pets which are abandoned, neglected, contribute to public health concerns and may ultimately be euthanized at County animal care centers,” said Michael Antonovich. “A mobile clinic can bring services to communities where transportation to a stationary clinic may be difficult.”
The Department of Animal Care and Control (DACC) has received a generous offer from the Coalition for Pets and Public Safety, a local nonprofit animal welfare organization, for the donation of a mobile spay/neuter clinic and half a year of operating costs to run the clinic. The motion directed the Department of Animal Care and Control and the Chief Executive Office to pursue a donation agreement with the Coalition for Pets and Public Safety for the development of a mobile spay/neuter vehicle.
