Shelter Took 22 Dog Surrenders in FY23-24


Concho Valley PAWS recent public relations blitz over possible changes to San Angelo Animal Shelter dog intake said the following:

Dog intake diversion does not mean dog intake is "closed" but instead allows support alternatives that prevent shelter overcrowding and euthanasia for space.

Now not closed is it?  Twenty seven owners surrendered their pet to the Shelter for fiscal year 2023-24, 22 of those were dog surrenders.  One person returned their dog during the same period.

Consider the history of cuts implemented by the Shelter in conjunction with PAWS:


Who gets the 1.8 dog surrenders per month and the one dog return per year?  Likely someone who wrote their City Council member.
