Mayor Nassif and Town Council,
Please APPROVE the Amended SBC Contract on
Today’s Agenda (6.15)! Also, please consider having
AVAS provide Public Notice regarding the animals
who are “Pending Euthanasia” Daily. This will give
Rescues and Networkers a chance to focus on the
animals who are MOST URGENT!
Finally, SBC no longer requires rescues to provide
spay/neuter certificates, while AVAS not only still
requires them, but they charge a $75 deposit to
rescues and suspends them when the certificates are
not provided w/in 90 days. Rescues are not the ones
trying to breed dogs…the last thing most rescues
want is more puppies to be responsible for.

Sometimes it’s difficult to get spay/neuter
appointments, or the animals are too sick for the
procedures. You mentioned doing away with the
spay/neuter certificates in Doug Robertson’s proposal
on 4/11/2023. Why is that still an issue?
It’s time for AVAS to work together with Rescues and
Networkers, to help solve the current shelter crisis.

Sincerely,
Veronica Golub
