Summary
Animal services reported November and December intakes and outcomes, a ringworm outbreak response, and a $100,000 grant award to support medical care and community services; staff described high live-release rates and thanked community partners and fosters.
Rosenberg animal services delivered its monthly report, detailing shelter intakes and outcomes for November and December and announcing a $100,000 grant award to support medical and community services.
Omar (animal services staff) said November saw 67 intakes (31 dogs, 32 cats, four others) and a 100% live-release outcome for that month; December had 63 intakes with a 97% release rate and two deaths forwarded for rabies testing. The shelter responded to a ringworm outbreak in November and worked with rescue partners to care for affected animals. Omar also said the shelter received $100,000 from the Henderson Westendorf grant (as described in the packet) to support medical care and free community services.
Omar credited community partners, volunteers and fosters for their help during a recent cold snap and noted that donated dog houses and crates helped keep owned pets sheltered when owners lacked indoor space.
Next steps: council thanked staff and asked for additional details on donation-account programs; staff agreed to follow up on funding-account questions raised by council members.
