Animal Services would let nonprofit offer pet owner aid at North Central shelter
A two-year access agreement would let betterTogether Forever staff a table at the Lincoln Heights shelter at no city cost.
People visiting the North Central Animal Services Center could get help paying for veterinary care, spay/neuter, boarding, training and license fees from nonprofit betterTogether Forever, with the goal of keeping pets out of the shelter. The Mayor sent the agreement, running September 1, 2026 through August 31, 2028, to the City Council for approval.
What happens next
City Council vote to authorize the General Manager of Animal Services to sign the agreement, subject to City Attorney approval as to form.
