Carrie Seibert presented Salt Lake County Animal Services' 2024 annual report at the April 1 Midvale City Council meeting, highlighting response volumes and program activity. She reported over 17,000 calls for service, more than 2,800 pets adopted or transferred to rescue organizations, and approximately 4,200 sterilizations performed by the County's in‑house clinic during 2024.
Seibert also described volunteer contributions (about 7,500 hours), licensing activity (718 licenses issued), and the Paws Clinic mobile program launched in October 2024 that provided free sterilization, vaccinations and microchips across Salt Lake County; between launch and year‑end the Paws Clinic performed 184 spay and neuter surgeries. She noted Petapalooza is their largest annual adoption event and that they are considering expanding it from one to two days. Residents were given an email contact for the Paws Clinic (paws@saltlakecounty.gov) for scheduling information.
Seibert additionally recapped small‑scale urban wildlife work and upcoming fundraising events (Tats for Cats on April 26). The County reported a 95% positive outcome rate for animals leaving the shelter in 2024.
