Animal‑control update: donations, clinic results and staffing note
Summary
Staff reported the animal shelter took in five dogs and 16 cats in January, received a donated washing machine from a local repair company, ran low‑cost spay/neuter clinics and has a part‑time vacancy; the committee accepted the report.
Staff member (speaker 3) presented the animal‑control report and highlighted intake numbers, donations and clinic outcomes.
Why it matters: Shelter intake and program performance affect animal welfare, operating budgets, and the county’s capacity to manage stray populations.
According to staff, in January the shelter admitted five dogs and 16 cats, and income for the month exceeded department expenses. A local on‑site truck and trailer repair company in Shorewood donated a new washing machine to the shelter, which staff described as "very needed." The department successfully ran a low‑cost spay/neuter and vaccine clinic in February that spayed/neutered about 20 cats and treated several dogs; another clinic is planned for March.
Staff also noted a part‑time position is open because the previous part‑time employee is moving. Committee members moved and the committee carried a motion to accept the report as presented.
Next steps: Staff encouraged anyone interested in the part‑time position to apply to Angie or HR, and said they will continue scheduling clinics and outreach.
