Animal control reports 97% live‑release in January; city to distribute limited spay/neuter vouchers
Summary
Rosenberg Animal Control reported 53 intakes in January and a 97% live‑release rate; staff announced a limited monthly spay/neuter voucher program funded primarily through grants, including Petco grant support.
Mister Polio, who presented the animal control and shelter report, summarized January 2026 shelter activity: "As far as intakes goes, we had 53 intakes, 27 dogs, 21 cats, 5 others," and later, "That put us at a 97 percent live release rate for the month of January."
Polio described vaccine clinics, microchipping, and multiple adoption events that contributed to shelter outcomes. He confirmed the shelter recorded two euthanasia cases in January—one dog and one cat—both recorded for severe injury or illness. Polio also said the city confirmed a spay/neuter voucher program that would resume, offering vouchers distributed monthly and financed through grant funding, including Petco grants.
Council members thanked staff and volunteers; the mayor and others suggested formally recognizing partner groups in a future meeting. No formal action or new funding appropriation was approved at the meeting; staff will post voucher availability on the shelter’s Facebook page and return details as numbers are tracked.
