taken and housed, fed and cared for. The cages are cleaned and
disinfected daily. The A~imal Control officers inspect every report
called in to the City. Many animals have to be put to sleep and this is
accomplished either in the euthanasia cabinet or by injection. The
Animal Control division of the city sponsors an animal inoculations clinic
once each year which offers reduced prices in an effort to get the
public to inoculate animals against rabies and other diseases.
Captain Harkins told the Council that the Humane Society worked very
closely with them and were a great help in finding homes for anim~l~ as
well as caring for injured ones. Certain animals suspected of possibly
having rabies are quarantined. The ADimal Control officers and
workers are professional in their demeanor and are dedicated individuals
