The most cost-effective way to reduce shelter overcrowding is to prevent unwanted litters before they enter the Fresno Animal Center. We respectfully request a dedicated line item for feral and community cats & dog, expanded low-cost spay/neuter services for owned pets, and partnerships with local nonprofit organizations. Every dollar invested in prevention saves multiple dollars in shelter operations while improving animal welfare and public safety.
This program is a much needed service to our community! It’s our duty to protect the pet population even if they are on the streets. What this program does, keeps the population under control one fur baby at a time
What you guys are trying to do is a joke right? $7.7 million for salaries, benefits etc ?? & the lose change for spay & neuter? That’s a slap in the face to the taxpayers. Stop taking the money for your benefit & use it for what it’s actually for! The streets are overrun by strays. Not enough people or resources to help all these animals. The city needs the money to help those animals, not to help your pockets! DO WHAT IS RIGHT!!!
They do not NEED HIGHER SALARIES!!!!!!!!!! THE SHELTERS, THE LACK OF ANIMAL CONTROL who aren’t doing their jobs.
I see higher salaries, these people better be SACRIFICING their LIVES to make change. This is UNDESERVED. We need this money for the ANIMALS!!!!!!!!!! Corrupt CA and greedy folk, proof right here.
Fresno is one of the worst areas I’ve seen in CA, it’s actually embarrassing. Ya’ll take pride in this?
I oppose the budget as it stands for spay and neuter programs. Budget needs to be increased as we are in a crisis. We have an over abundance of animals on the streets and are being told by local shelters to put these animals back where we found them because the shelters have know room. Please allocate more funds so the dogs and cats are neutered and spayed and not overpopulated on our streets!
Overcrowded shelters, dogs and cats running g the streets of Fresno, we need more funding g for spay and neuter, TNR, no need for such an enormous amount of salaries. Try your best to make it work!! Fresno is in a crisis and you all KNOW IT!! DO WHATS RIGHT,
What in the world are you guys thinking by not allocating way more for spay and neuter.? We are overpopulated in our area with stray cats and dogs. There's not enough people as it is to adopt all these animals. Please allocate more money for spay and neuter.

Please reconsider the budget for spay and keeper you could choose ones accessories neuters it is so important and the only true way we can make a difference is stopping the breeding
The Ciry of Fresno should be embarrassed that an Animal Rescue out of Santa Rosa has provided more funding for spay/neuters than the City. These are living breathing cats and dogs. The longer they are ignored…the larger the problem. Please add a specific budget line to specify spay/neuter funds in the budget.
Please support trapping and nurturing of stay cats and dogs. We do not want or need more babies dead on our roads. It is disgusting that people just abandon pets to begin with, but there are beautiful people in our community willing to help if we give them the resources.
Spay and Neuter must be supported as a PRIORITY. Many residents rescue stray dogs from streets and get financially challanged. Our residents are supporting the city by taking in strays. They need support from the city to help reduce our stray population.
Spay and neuter is the only way out of the animal crisis. Closing Fresno Animal Center to intakes or severely limiting intakes has only made this crisis worse and placed the burden on the community. Why is there not more money in the budget for mass spay and neuter services? Why is so much being allocated to fund employee positions? For what? To tend to the injured dogs who have been left to suffer on the street? Fund large scale spay and neuter services instead and address the root cause of our animal overpopulation problem.
I think more funds should go towards helping less animals be euthanized or abused due to overcrowding in shelters and rescues. Plus i urge you to reconsider the allocation budget to support spay and neuter

To Fresno City Council, I respectfully oppose the current budget proposed for Fresno Animal Center and request to modify and allocate a portion for community spay and neuter surgeries. As president of Halo Café Pet Food Pantry, who subsidize spay/neuters for the community at no cost to them, through our fundraising efforts, we see the direct impact to the community we both serve. Our mission is pet retention and keeping pets out of shelters. We assist by providing free pet food to pet owners who are low-income and struggling, but also who have taken a step in the right direction by fixing their pets or letting us help them get that done through the vouchers we provide. We promote responsible pet ownership. To minimize surrenders, one component of pet retention is assisting the community with spaying & neutering their pets at affordable rates through low-cost or no-cost programs. Fresno has a pet overpopulation problem that cannot be solved with sheltering alone. We need a dedicated city budget item that helps minimize the crisis.
With Best Regards,
ThalĂa Arenas
President of Halo Cafe
