Eighty one animals received services through the pre-adoption sterilization program. Officers
have completed five tours of the facility to include question and answer sessions to educate
young future pet owners regarding the responsibilities that come with adoption. Clear the
Shelters was a huge success again this year. Thirty five cats and twenty two dogs were
adopted during the campaign. Seven staff members and seventeen volunteers were utilized
inside the facility on the day of the event. Girl Scout troops#7749 and #7745 made sure
potential adopters waiting were offered water, Gatorade and snacks provided through the city
and donations. The adoption event lasted five hours. The City of Wylie Animal Shelter was
cleared this year for the fourth year in a row. Eighty seven potential new family members were
signed in and ready to go when the doors opened at nine thirty am. Two weeks prior to the
event date fifty city employees from multiple departments dawned their CTS shirts displaying
their support for the success of the event at our city shelter. The day before the event thirteen
city staff members from courts, parks, public works, fire, police and the city manager's office
showed up at the facility to offer some assistance in making the pets ready and preparing all the
necessary paperwork for new adopters. This is the largest event held at the Animal Control
Division each year. It is not only a great experience for the animals and adopter but is an
uplifting feeling for the staff members. There were four animals returned following the campaign
during the follow up by officers. All four of the animals were adopted after their return to the
facility.
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 7:18 pm.
