A portion of a 60″ x 40″ play/exercise yard for dogs, was covered so that it can be used in all types of weather. Work was completed by a local contractor. The SNYP program served approx 300 pet owners from the community as well as 18 shelter animals to facilitate their adoption or transfer out of the shelter to a rescue organization. The SNYP programfacilitated the spay neuter of 398 animals in calendar year 2022 and has considerably raised awareness in the community of the need to spay neuter pets and strays to reduce overpopulation. Shelter staffing became a serious problem in the last year. All 4 Paws pays the salaries of two part time shelter employees. To promote their retention, we gave them a pay raise to match a county paid position for someone with the same duties an years of experience.
