So where do we stand on the sweeping reforms tauted in August of 2006? http://www.sanantonio.gov/animalcare/PDF/ACS_StrategicPlan.pdf
Maybe it is time to revisit this issue some two years later.
Yes we do have a beautiful new facility although the location is hardly accessible. Check out page 4 where 8 of the strategic objectives were to be met within the first year. Let's start easy with this one. Increase Adoptions Through Multi-Site Availability. I haven't seen any ACS adoption sites around town, have you? Their website does not appear to list any.
I would like to address each objective individually and ask for your help. First, go here and make your delcaration.
If you're hesitant, take a look at this.

Let's take the initiative to police our animal control services, to ensure that our tax dollars are being spent in the way we want. I need your feedback. What about our own website like Austin's, http://www.fixaustin.org/. Are you up for the challenge?

Hi Jean,
Well I need to take some time and read all the information found in the links you've provided, but I thought I'd respond right away to report on the adoption sites I have seen around town.
I don't know who's sponsoring them, but there are usually dogs and pups available for adoption, set up in portable pens outside the PetsMart on 281, and I heard there were a couple of AdoptAPet sites set up at some Fiesta events this year - they were promoting them on one of the TV news shows. Also, there have been doggie adoption tables outside the HEB on Austin Hwy a couple of times in the last 6 months, both pups and dogs there too. They didn't have as many portable pens, and they had less dogs, too.
Okay, there's my eyewitness contribution to the discussion ... more later!!
