Mayor Donald Asay told the Mannington Township Board of Health on Feb. 6 that the township will not have an animal shelter contract in place as of Feb. 28, 2025, and that few municipalities had renewed shelter contracts for 2025.
Committeeman Robert DiGregorio said he could reach out to the Pennsville animal shelter to see if it would be willing to help. Solicitor William Horner told the board he has started drafting an ordinance to address animal‑shelter issues.
The board did not record a formal motion to authorize a contract or to adopt the draft ordinance at the meeting. No public comments were made during the meeting's public‑comment period. Board members recorded that shelter arrangements remain unresolved and follow‑up contact and an ordinance draft are next steps.
The meeting adjourned at 5:43 p.m.
