Reduce the number of unwanted animals through the promotion of low cost spay and neuter procedures at local veterinary hospitals and clinics. 2. Reduce the number of animals impounded at the local shelter through the promotion of a citywide licensing program that includes all animals (e.g. cats, dogs and other). 3. Increase the number of animals returned to their owners (and reduce euthanasia of unclaimed animals) by increasing access to education, licensing and microchipping services in hard-to-reach communities (particularly those where animal populations have been difficult to manage). 4. Expand education and volunteer training progrTue, 22 Jan 2019 23:08:24 GMT
