PCAPS reports decline in impounded animals; $3,000 donation will fund microchips through 2027
Summary
Becky reported the shelter's large impound has been reduced from 64 animals to about four and that a $3,000 private donation—$2,000 for medical supplies and $1,000 for enrichment—will help extend the free microchip program into 2027.
Becky provided two updates for Peoria County Animal Protective Services. First, she said a recent large impound that initially involved 64 animals has been reduced to about four remaining animals. "We were down to about 4 animals of the 64, so that's great news," she told the committee.
Second, Becky described a $3,000 private donation the county proposes to allocate $1,000 for enrichment programming and $2,000 for medical supplies. She said the medical portion, combined with other grant monies the shelter has received, will allow the county to continue offering free microchip services to pet owners into 2027. The committee voted to accept the donation.
