When the County Board of Supervisors meet tomorrow in San Bernardino, they’re expected to approve some extra treats for the Twentynine Palms Animal Shelter. Here’s reporter Mike Lipsitz to explain…
At the 10 a.m. meeting, supervisors are expected to approve a five-year, $25,000 contract with Twentynine Palms to provide animal shelter services for the unincorporated areas of the low desert. Twentynine Palms has provided such services for the county since 1994. The contract will allow Department of Public Health Animal Care and Control to continue to provide services including housing, rabies quarantine, stray animal impound, and euthanasia. The facility reduces travel time for animals and field animal control officers, and makes it easier for people to retrieve or adopt impounded pets.
