Board Member)
Shelia Patton reports seven sterilization transports for public access from Wylie Animal
Control for residents to low cost animal care provider. In collaboration with PetSmart
Charities and Spay Neuter Network three additional programs available through grants
for residents: Three low cost vaccination clinics held at the City of Wylie Animal Control
during evening hours to provide residents access to low cost vaccinations, heartworm
testing and preventative medication. Residents can comply with registration of pets as
two staff members as well as veterinarian and vet assistant are on site. Seventeen
additional animals have been placed into foster care program. Volunteers have logged
ninety five hours and service workers have logged one hundred fifty four hours. Pet of
the week twice monthly with Wylie News is ongoing. Facebook for social media
outreach is still maintained and has proved to be an effective mode of communication for
lost pets, adoptable animals and information related to the cities pet needs and services.
Sixty three animals received services through the pre-adoption sterilization program. A
meeting was held with a representative of the Christian Care Center. Patton took a tour
of facility and discussed the opportunity to provide short term assistance to persons
seeking assistance for the animals within their home. Patton has seen through
experience of animal service that individuals will often because of the deep love for their
pets give what food they have available to their pets or even by just splitting food with
their pets they are not getting adequate nutrition themselves. Donations come through
the shelter on a steady basis. Donations are given to not for profit organizations or
utilized in the facility if possible. There is no reason why someone who is simply
struggling short term should be ignoring their own nutritional needs because they love
and want to care for their pets. Patton is currently creating a plan to either have the care

center refer clients they have that are in need or provide some pet needs at the facility
itself through the City of Wylie Animal Control. Low cost sterilization and free grant
opportunities were also provided to Christian Care representative. Patton reports that
staff is positively affected by being able to do good for the people they serve. Patton is
constantly aware of the emotional health of the staff members and every opportunity to
give staff members the ability to see the positive effect they make is a win for them as
well as for the citizen they are assisting.
Councilman Dahl asks Patton if the current cleanup of hurricane is affecting the facility.
Patton reports that the facility has dedicated through the support of the city manager
assistance to at least ten family pets. We currently are housing some pets for college
students who were evacuated. We have picked up a couple of evacuate persons pets
while they were staying with family here in Wylie. The pets are successfully with their
owners. Shelters closer to the area but out of impact range will be most affected first.
Patton is a part of a shelter community board of twenty one facilities. We work together
and we all began moving very fast. Pledges were made from each city for personnel,
equipment or housing. We learned from Katrina very quickly. There will be casualties
but we are hoping through cooperative efforts we will make a difference. Patton
currently faces deployment decision into the area. This will be the only animal control
employee deployed as staffing is limited for our services. Patton is standing by because
Wylie's direct partner is Fort Worth and they may have a team they can send into area
and two persons will be of greater effect. Fort Worth being our direct partner means that
the can compensate for our low staffing and assist by bringing animals into Wylie if
housing is necessary for pets. This group of animal control agencies working together is
an absolute blessing. Patton has been offered a fully equipped vehicle from a partner
and this helps due to lack of transportation to the animal control department. There is
another hurricane predicted to cause extreme damage in Florida. When a disaster
happens anywhere in this country we are always at risk to be affected. People leave
and they need us for their pets. We cannot turn away from that and will always seek
approval to assist in whatever way we possibly can. We will always know that we will
keep our community staffed and not jeopardize the needs we have here at home.
ADJOURNMENT
Motion was made by Princess Stewart and seconded by Shelia Patton to adjourn meeting. With
no further business before the board, consensus of the board was to adjourn at 6:52 pm.
