DISCUSSION ITEMS
3. Discussion regarding shelter events and status first quarter.
Shelia Patton reports six sterilization transports available from Wylie Animal Control for
residents to low cost animal care provider. There were three additional transports available for
residents to include Happy Neuter Year twenty dollar sterilization, Beat the Heat twenty dollar
sterilization and Community Cats free sterilization and vaccination. Three low cost vaccination
clinics held at the City of Wylie during evening hours. Forty nine animals have been through the
low cost contracted sterilization program. These animals were sterilized, microchipped and
given their rabies vaccination if age appropriate. Age appropriate vaccinations are given upon
intake by staff of City of Wylie besides rabies. Three extended evening hours of operation for
residents to comply with city registration of pets. Three total animals have been through foster
program. Animal Control Officers visited areas of high volume calls to deliver information
regarding sterilization and vaccination low cost options. This is an effort to promote responsible
pet ownership to lower the number of unwanted, stray and abandoned animas. Volunteers
logged 179.5 hours and service hour programs have logged 44.5 hours. We are partnered with
several programs to offer service hours. Animals at the facility are spotlighted twice monthly via
the Pet of the Week in the Wylie News. Facebook for social media outreach is utilized to
highlight lost pets, adoptable pets, stray animals and area events.
Chairman David Dahl asks if any board members have questions regarding the events and
status report. With no questions asked Chairman David Dahl expressed his appreciation to the
outgoing board members present at the meeting. Their dedication to serve is greatly
appreciated.
