Pittsburg County animal shelter reports operations update; director says incinerator will be repaired this week
Summary
Animal Shelter Director Lloyd Staton presented the shelter's operational report, including repair plans for the incinerator. The packet submitted to commissioners included monthly surrender, adoption and customer‑count statistics for 2025 and partial 2026 figures.
Lloyd Staton, director of the Pittsburg County Animal Shelter, presented the shelter's operations report at the June 15 meeting and told the board the shelter plans to repair its incinerator during the week following the meeting.
Staton provided statistical summaries included in the packet: monthly figures for feline and canine surrenders and adoptions for 2025 and partial 2026 reporting; examples in the packet show 2025 monthly totals (for example, canine surrenders totaled 1,592 for 2025 and canine adoptions listed 705 for 2025). The packet also lists private cremation counts and associated fees for 2025 (327 cremations, total $47,790), and customer counts by month for 2025. Staton said maintenance work (incinerator repair) was scheduled so the shelter can continue disposition operations.
The board reviewed the printed report and took no separate action beyond accepting the director's update. No public commenters spoke on shelter operations during the June 15 meeting.
The meeting materials supplied detailed monthly tables for 2025 and placeholders for 2026; the board did not amend operational policy or adopt new directives during the session.
