Shelia Patton reports 19 sterilization transports for public access from Wylie Animal
Control for residents to low cost animal care provider; Six 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. Eight animals have been placed into foster
care program. These were all bottle-fed kittens. Volunteers and service workers have
logged 291.5 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. Eighty-nine animals received services through the pre-
adoption sterilization program. Staff have completed five tours pre-established. Clear
the Shelter was a success as the facility cleared again this year. One animal was
returned from the event. This animal was successfully adopted after the event. The
facility did receive a new software program within this past budget. This software will
assist with medical records and state requirements for record keeping. The facility did
participate in National Night out. The facility is still active with Wylie Raiders program.
We recently started a new program offering team-building projects for local business.
Our first team'building program experience was with Smile Doctors here in Wylie. They
had a great experience and spread the word through local social media.
