We launch and maintain programs that will assist county and state level agencies in enforcing and deterring violation of our state law against animal abandonment. We continue to develop and launch convenient and practical spay/neuter programs designed to encourage people to have their pets altered. We develop new programs to discourage surrender of companion animals to our shelters, and increase likelihood of permanent placement. Our efforts include offering consultation, resources and support to individuals from our community who are making the effort to help the abandoned animals of our community to find a permanent home.
