Request/Subject

Approval to submit a grant application to the Arizona Companion Animal Spay and Neuter Committee requesting $10,000 to be used for a low cost spay/neuter program in Gila County.

Background Information

This grant application to the Arizona Companion Animal Spay and Neuter Committee is for funds that will be used to ensure that all animals leaving the County animal shelter will be surgically altered by offering a fully discounted spay/neuter procedure.

On August 17, 2015, the Board of Supervisors authorized the submittal of a grant application in the amount of $10,000 to Arizona Companion Animal Spay and Neuter Committee.

On September 14, 2015, Gila County Animal Control Department received an award letter and a check in the amount of $2,000 to increase spays and neuter efforts in our community.

Evaluation

Gila County Animal Control currently has a low cost spay/neuter program and this funding would allow us to expand the program and continue to offer the fully discounted spay/neuter services to more residents.

Conclusion

This grant would benefit the residents of Gila County by providing $10,000 in funding for spaying/neutering dogs and cats.

Recommendation

It is the recommendation of the Gila County Health & Emergency Management Director that the Board of Supervisors approve this grant application to the Arizona Companion Animal Spay and Neuter Committee.

Suggested Motion

Approval to authorize the Gila County Animal Control Department to submit a grant application to the Arizona Companion Animal Spay and Neuter Committee for $10,000 to expand its discounted spay/neuter services in Gila County for a period of one year.
