For months now, the DeWitt County Animal Shelter has been under the microscope as staff turnover and understaffing have kept the facility from fully operational.

That is hopefully a thing of the past says Administrator Tony Harris. On the WHOW Morning Show Tuesday, Harris told Regional Radio it has been difficult to balance both the 9-1-1 office and the animal shelter.

According to Harris, they are fully staffed with a warden and two part-time staff but admits, they are going to make sure they don't need more staff.

Harris notes the Shelter's relationship with 'Second Chance for Pets', the pet adoption group in DeWitt County, is very strong and he hopes to continue to maintain a good relationship with the group because they are instrumental in making sure the shelter does not get overcrowded with animals.

Harris believes the Shelter is on the right path but it is going to take some time to get it all the way back. He has been appreciative of the support he's received so far in his time as the administrator.
