Victorville Animal Care & Control staff took
the pets to the people this quarter
with ten adoption ev ents around town.
Thirteen events had been scheduled,
but some were relocated to the Animal
Adoption Center on Amargosa due to
inclement weather. The staff in Animal
Control is seasoned in adaptability, and
being involved in the animal adoption
events is eudemonic for them. With 127
animals being adopted out this quarter,
the efforts of the staff are impressive.
