At that time, City staff <br />evaluated several options to provide animal care shelter services. It was determined that <br />contracting with the Orange County Shelter was the most cost effective means of providing quality <br />service to the City. <br />Animal care shelter services include, but are not limited to, retention of impounded animals at the <br />County's animal care shelter, display of animals to allow owner identification, sale or release of <br />impounded animals to residents, animal evaluation for adoption, reasonable effort toward animal <br />placement, public education, volunteer services, rescue group coordination, euthanasia and <br />humane disposal of animals that are neither redeemed nor adopted. The agreement also <br />includes veterinary services and spay and neuter, and necropsies of animals that die under <br />suspicious circumstances or at the request of law enforcement. <br />25E -1 <br />
