Wylie City Council AGENDA REPORT Department: Animal Services Account Code: Prepared By: Chris Marren Subject 2026 second-quarter statistical information for shelter operations. Recommendation Consider and place on file the 2026 second-quarter statistical information for shelter operations. Discussion The quarterly statistical information report consists of three data groups within the specified reportable timeframe: impounded animals, disposition method of animals, and euthanasia reasons. Four columns within data groups reflect three species: dogs, cats, and others. The fourth column, the total, includes the sum of all species. The TNR program report reflects services performed by WAS through caretaker requests during the specified quarterly report timeframe. The provided TNR district map depicts all animals WAS serviced through caretaker requests during this program’s inception in September 2022. District numbers are adjusted quarterly to reflect feral felines completing the TNR program vetting requirements through WAS and returned to the caretaker, as well as reports from caretakers of deceased feral felines who have completed the TNR program through WAS. Also, for reference, is last year's corresponding quarterly report. 8 08/12/2026 Item 4.
