Animal pound reports adoptions and volunteers; Development Office readies Opera House engineering RFP

Julie Gridley, pound keeper, told the commissioners the pound took in 10 dogs during the week, of which six were adopted and three were returned to their owners; eight dogs from a March 23 intake remain in custody awaiting owner pickup. Gridley described efforts to make the pound more dog friendly, thanked volunteers and donors who supply blankets, toys and treats, and advised adopters to follow a "3‑3‑3" adjustment guideline when introducing adopted dogs to new homes.
