The City of Los Angeles began working with Best Friends Animal Society in 2020, several years after the City of San Angelo began working with Pets Alive, a similar organization.
The City no longer takes owner surrendered pets due to things like owner illness or death. (ASAC approved 4-19-19)
The City no longer will euthanize a pet for a resident of San Angelo. (ASAC approved 8-15-19)
The City no longer accepts pets from Tom Green County (ASAC approved 1-21-21)
LA officials are questioning the value of their relationship with Best Friends. San Angelo City Councilmembers cannot get a straight answer to their questions about the relationship, even though the Shelter Chief attended Best Friends' Executive Leadership Certification tuition free.
City Council plans to talk about dog intake policies in their meeting next week, scheduled for December 3rd at 8:30 am.
Staff recommends referring the intake policies to the originating committee, including Animal Services staff and Concho Valley PAWS leadership.Yes, the partnership that turned San Angelo into a third world community for loose pets . Some of that history over the last six years can be seen in the posts below (most have data obtained from the City of San Angelo).
