New Projects Raised over $70,000 in cash, donated equipment and services, to build astate-of-the- art Health/Spay-Neuter Clinic, that opened in January, 2003, This had been a priority of the Board since 1992 and it became a reality 12 months after I took over, Adoptions/New Programs Even with a greatly increased incoming animal population, adoptions remained steady and doubled the month of October, compared to the previous year, New programs included: initial health checks on all animals arriving at the shelter; more complete pre-adoption final health checks and vaccinations; and better control over court- held and bite quarantine animals, Temperament testing for every adoptable dog helps insure better matching between potential adopters and available animals. New kennel cleaning procedures were implemented to tighten disease management. Adoption contracts, health forms and cage identification cards were revised and checklists for money management, nightly closing, etc. were implemented,
