Agenda Item
Discuss, consider and take appropriate action on the creation of an Adoption Counselor, an Animal Health Supervisor and a Foster Program Supervisor from the Animal Services Donation Fund.
Background
Adoption Counselor.1903.001100. B.16. $33,092.80
The Adoption Counselor position has been funded by a grant from Petco Love. Once the grant funds are depleted, a PCN will be created for this position in the Donation Fund of the Regional Animal Shetler. No funds from the General Fund will be used for this position.
The Adoption Counselor provides offsite adoptions of the shelter’s dogs and cats at community events, and pet retail stores. They provide a connection to the community and increase our exposure to the public.
Animal Health Supervisor.2141.001100. B.23. $53,500.20
The Animal Health Supervisor position has been funded by a grant from Petco Love. Once the grant funds are depleted, a PCN will be created for this position in the Donation Fund of the Regional Animal Shetler. No funds from the General Fund will be used for this position.
The Animal Health Supervisor oversees the day to day health needs of the dogs and cats at the Regional Shelter. Additionally, the Animal Health Supervisor plans and attends microchip and vaccine clinics in order to reduce the risk of a health outbreak and to lower the intake of dogs and cats to the shelters because they have a microchip to identify their family.
Foster Program Supervisor.2143.001100. B.23. $50,000.08
The Foster Programs Supervisor position has been funded by a grant from Petsmart Charities. Once the grant funds are depleted, a PCN will be created for this position in the Donation Fund of the Regional Animal Shetler. No funds from the General Fund will be used for this position.
The Foster Program Supervisor oversees the dog and cat foster programs of the Regional Shelter. In addition, she manages all the offsite kennel space used by the Regional Shelter, including our partnership with pet retail locations. This position also enhances our relationship with community organizations such as relationships with Veteran’s Services and nonprofit organizations.
