Though Justin Lelesch has been Abilene s Animal Services director since the end of April, his roughly five-year tenure at the city s animal shelter makes him a known quantity, City Manager Robert Hanna said.
That s important, as Hanna and others hope his tenure will curb what has been a recent history of rapidly-rotating leadership at the shelter, build better community relations and open the door to an improved facility, partly funded by private dollars.
Counting interim director Michael Bricker, who came to the shelter through an agreement with animal group Best Friends, Abilene s facility has had three directors in relatively quick succession.
