A donation to the Moultrie County Animal Shelter could make adopting a pet easier following Moultrie County Board action January 14.

Arlene Aschermann, chair of public health, safety and welfare presented terms to accept a $10,114 donation from the David A. Woodruff Charitable Remainder Annuity Trust, to be used for  animal control.

Aschermann’s moved to accept $10,114 from the David A Woodruff CRAT to expended only for the sole ad exclusive benefit of the Moutlrie County Animal Control Department for the purpose of increasing pet adoptions and decreasing rate of euthanasia including without limitation, costs of spaying, neutering, veterinary care, food and shelter.

In an additional motion the board unanimously approved creating a voucher program for animals adopted from the shelter. Once the pet is spayed or neutered the county will reimburse the owner up to $60 toward that expense.     Login or Subscribe to read the rest of this story.
