Fur Facts: Williston PD Animal Control Activity for May and June
Fur Facts: What’s New at Williston Animal Control?
It’s time for another round of Fur Facts, a report on what’s been happening at the Williston Police Department Animal Control Facility over the past two months.
May by the Numbers
In May, the facility responded to 149 calls for service, took in 19 cats and 21 dogs, and issued 10 citations. Four cats and 16 dogs were reunited with their owners, while 9 animals were rescued and 6 found new homes through adoption.
June Activity Spikes
In June, the numbers jumped: 204 calls for service, with 40 cats, 19 dogs, and 1 other animal taken in. Only 2 cats and 4 dogs were returned to their owners, down from May. But the rescue and adoption numbers improved, with 24 animals rescued and 13 adopted. Just 2 citations were issued.
What It All Means
June saw a higher intake of cats and a big increase in rescues and adoptions, despite fewer animals being reclaimed by their owners. It’s a reminder of how important it is to microchip your pets and check the shelter if one goes missing.
Stay tuned for July’s Fur Facts and maybe consider adopting your next furry friend.
