Board hears update on nine puppies, spay/neuter certificates and modest adoption fees
Summary
Volunteers told the board nine puppies are now old enough for spay/neuter under state certificates, the adult pair has been fixed and vaccinated, and the group plans modest adoption fees to recoup about $175 in recent costs for the adults.
A volunteer (S3) gave an extended update on animal-control and adoption efforts: the adult dogs (mom and dad) have been spayed/neutered and vaccinated, nine puppies are now old enough to be fixed once state certificates arrive, and the group plans to find indoor homes and charge modest adoption fees to recoup costs. S3 said, “Which right now is only a $175,” referring to the amount currently owed in costs for the adult pair.
The volunteer described plans to advertise adoptions on Facebook and the Jackson County K-9 page and said they will require an adoption questionnaire to screen potential homes. The board discussed logistics of certificates and timing; S3 and others emphasized the goal of placing the animals in indoor homes and recouping the small expenses, not making a profit.
