Vance County Animal Services is pleased to announce that it is a recipient of a $7,865.00 anti-cruelty grant from the ASPCA.
The grant was applied for on September 30, 2017 and will be used for:
- Purchase more cases for cruelty case animals
- Purchase feeders for our pastures for our livestock cases
- Purchase hay ring for our pasture for our livestock cases
- Purchase water tanks for our pasture for our livestock cases
- Purchase lead lines/halters for our equine cases
- Purchase enrichment toys and supplies for our livestock
- Purchase a video camera for video footage of cruelty cases
- Purchase a camera and accessories for taking better pictures at our cruelty investigation
- To send two Animal Services Officers to Leti Cruelty Investigation School
These items would greatly improve our animal cruelty investigations by having the ability to take better, more detailed pictures and videos for a greater chance of an animal cruelty conviction. It would also help us provide appropriate care and housing for the animals in our custody. The enrichment toys will help us provide valuable socialization for livestock, which will increase their chances of getting adopted. These items are essential for us to provide the proper care.
