services, low cost and low income spay/neuter services, dog training and behavior modification, <br /> a pet problem hotline, cruelty investigation, and many other programs that most communities do <br /> not have access to. Our spay/neuter clinic has been successful at lowering the animal population <br /> in Orange County thereby preventing more unwanted animals and assisting with disease control <br /> in the community. APS rabies clinics vaccinate anywhere from.500 to more than 1000 animals <br /> each year. We are in the process of building the APS "Halfway Home"Adoption Center at our <br /> Sanctuary property in western Orange County which will house all animals pending adoption <br /> from the animal shelter as they undergo spay/neuter surgery and are awaiting their final <br /> adoption. This will free up space at the Orange County Animal Shelter, allowing more animals <br /> to stay longer and increasing their chances for adoption. We are projecting that this project will <br /> increase the adoption rate by as much as 10%. <br /> The APS has successfully managed the Orange County Animal Shelter for more than 20 years. <br /> Our proven track record of quality care for animals and providing outstanding programs and <br /> services for the community shows the value of the relationship between the County and APS and <br /> the irreplaceable benefits to the community. <br /> Thank you for your review of our position. Please do not hesitate to contact us through Laura <br /> Walters should you have any questions or desire further information. <br /> 8 <br />
