UPDATE! The Williamsburg Area S.P.C.A. Board of Directors has made the decision to withdraw from any further negotiations with the City of Williamsburg and with James City County concerning the future of the animal shelter located on Waller Mill Road. The Board of Directors has decided to continue operations at the shelter, taking cats and dogs as well as all other animals that area citizens bring in for care. As of June 30, however, the S.P.C.A. will no longer have a contractual relationship with the City of Williamsburg for the impoundment of animals picked up by the City's animal control personnel. . Recently, the S.P.C.A. considered turning over the shelter to city and county officials and allowing those municipalities to handle the care and adoption of the area's impounded animals. The Board cited several reasons for its decision. First, neither the City nor James City County were forthcoming on the types of animal services that they would provide should they assume responsibility for the shelter. BUL' Second, the muncipalities planned to retain only one person to provide care to the animals on site. The Board felt that a single employee could not possibly provide the level of care necessary for the Waller Mill facility. Finally, the municipalities planned to discontinue adoption services at the shelter; area residents would have to go to the Newport News facility in order to adopt a pet. The S.P.C.A. did not want to see t~e shelter used for nothing more than a holding pen for area animals. The Board did not rule out an eventual transfer of the animal shelter, but decided that it would wait until the City or James City County made a proposal that would work. mNGRA: TO WINNERS OF THE SECOND ANNUAL PSF a-nLI COOK OFF: BEST ALL AROUND Pro Bono by Joel Wurster and Tom Book DEADLIEST Road Kill by Robert and Marnie Garnier BEST NAME Politically Correct Chili by Ken Golski BEST TASTE Kinder and Gentler C~il( qy Anne Bowling Page Seven The Advocate April 18, 1991 DESPERATELY SEEKING ...
