LONG TERM OBJECTIVES
Relocate and construct a new or expanded animal shelter to house animals longer and therefore provide more
opportunities for adoption and animals being returned to their owners. A new location that is in a high visiblity area will
help bring Animal Services into the public eye and will also better serve the needs of our animals and our community.

Implement a Trap Neuter Release program for feral cats once we get a bigger facility.
Add a veterinarian to our staff or contracted vet to treat sick and injured animals, this will lower budget costs.
Increase professional development training for all staff.

Successfully manage the newly approved 501c3 "Friends of the Saginaw Animal Services.
Work with our community to increase our volunteer program

Increase staffing by one (1) full-time Animal Services Technician, one (1) full-time ACO position while keeping our
current part-time position to improve the customer service, to improve the animal's experience, to provide staffing
flexibility, and improve the operations to a fast growing community.
