The new Animal Control Administrator has completed her first month and reports things are going well. 

At Thursday night's DeWitt County Public Safety Committee Meeting, Grace Moore told the committee her first month has been a stressful experience, but a good one. Moore was recently hired as the new Administrator after the departure of Tony Harris. 

During the month of January, DeWitt County Animal Control worked with the University of Illinois to host 3 low-cost spay and neuter clinics, which are open to eligible community members and to animals already in the shelter. 

Moore also let the board know that Animal Control will be looking to purchase new catch poles and a new printer that has faxing capabilities. Committee Chair Megan Meyers notes that they can work with Second Chance to fund those purchases. 

Meyers thanked Moore for her hard work over this past month. 

Regional Radio and Covenant Animal Clinic in Clinton announced this week they are teaming up to begin an “Adopt a Pet” campaign to help the DeWitt County Animal Shelter find homes for dogs and cats.
