Ward Animal Control and Shelter honored for 90% save rate in 2024
Summary
The council recognized Ward Animal Control and Shelter after Best Friends Animal Society awarded a plaque for a reported 90% save rate in calendar year 2024; supervisor Taylor and officer Clarissa were presented with the award.
Mayor read a letter from Best Friends Animal Society congratulating Ward Animal Control and Shelter for achieving a 90% save rate in calendar year 2024 and presented a plaque recognizing the shelter’s status. The letter praised staff, volunteers and programming for contributing to the result.
Taylor (identified as the animal-control shelter supervisor) and Clarissa (identified as an officer) were invited to the microphone and received the award. The mayor and council commended shelter staff and volunteers for the accomplishment.
Why it matters: A 90% save rate is a commonly used metric in animal-welfare reporting; the Best Friends Animal Society plaque recognizes shelters that meet or exceed that threshold for a given calendar year.
Next steps: No further council action was recorded; council applauded the staff and volunteers.
