Abandoned, animals that are being mistreated, in distress, and making sure that other animals are cared for and hopefully ultimately adopted out. Animal care and control is a safety net agency. It doesnt get to pick and choose which animals it takes in. And, so, you have a lot of animals who are difficult to adopt out. Yet animal care controls budget appears to be highly inadequate to provide the level of care that we in this animal friendly city expect for animals in need.

Animal care control has few resources, but its really not possible for their agency to stay on top of those complaints and do an effective job monitoring and enforcing. So, the hearing
