Rosenberg hosts major spay and neuter event at George Junior High

The Rosenberg City Council Workshop Meeting held on April 22, 2025, focused on significant community initiatives, particularly in animal advocacy and services. The meeting highlighted an upcoming spay and neuter event scheduled for the following Saturday at George Junior High, organized in collaboration with the county, school district, and various nonprofit volunteers. This event aims to spay and neuter up to 600 cats and dogs, addressing the issue of loose animals in the area.

Participants are encouraged to volunteer and support the event, which will feature breakfast and lunch tacos for attendees. The value of the services provided during this event is estimated to be substantial, potentially reaching tens of thousands of dollars, as each animal will receive spaying or neutering, vaccinations, and microchipping.

Additionally, the council recognized April as Animal Control Appreciation Week, honoring the dedication of Rosenberg's Animal Control Officers and staff. A proclamation was read, acknowledging their efforts in protecting animals and the community, enforcing laws, and promoting responsible pet ownership. The Rosenberg Animal Control and Shelter has maintained a remarkable 90% live release rate since 2019, achieving no-kill status for six consecutive years.

The meeting concluded without public comments, but the council's focus on animal welfare and community engagement underscored the city's commitment to addressing local challenges and fostering a supportive environment for both residents and pets.
