The latest news: <br />Voice of OC, April 15, 2025 <br />Vaughn: The Board Took Positive Steps for the OC Animal Shelter, NOW Let's Block the Bureaucracy's Plan to Lower <br />Standards <br />httDS://voiceofoc. orLY/2025/04/vauiahn-the-board-took-positive-stebs-for-the-oc-animal-shelter-now-lets-block-the-bureaucracvs- <br />plan-to-lower-standards/ <br />The community is grateful to Supervisors Janet Nguyen and Vicente Sarmiento. They've achieved real progress! But the <br />bureaucracy is still trying to dilute the Strategic Plan, using a suspicious contract with a single bidder. And the county is <br />rejecting simple arithmetic, shortchanging Animal Care Attendants. <br />Event-NewsEnterprise, April 17, 2025 <br />Nguyen approves Animal shelter reforms <br />https://event-newsenteiprise.com/n uyen-approves-animal-shelter-reforms/ <br />Orange County Supervisor Janet Nguyen headed a measure to reform OC AmmalCare by increasing hours, appointing a <br />community liaison to interface with the public and requiring monthly website posting of data like intakes, adoptions and <br />euthanasia. The items unanimously passed the Board of Supervisors on Tuesday and will take affect within four months. <br />Supervisor Vincent Sarmiento co-authored the measure. The upgrades bring a pre-COVID era back to the shelter when it was <br />more accessible and transparent to the public. Orange County was the last major municipal shelter to allow open public <br />visitation last year. <br />
