City of Corpus Christi
Animal Care Services
Proposal prepared by:
Susan Thiem, Chairman, Animal Control Advisory Committee
Assistance provided by:
Sami Ryhner, Member, Animal Control Advisory Committee
Cherrie A. Stunz, Division Manager, Animal Care Services
EXHIBIT "A"
INTRODUCTION:
In ] 999 a "Caller Times" article shocked the residents of our 'Sparkling City' by
reporting that Corpus Christi "holds the nation's record per capita of population for the
number of unwanted animals killed". This was not a statistic that anyone could quote
with pride.
The subsequent years have brought many changes to improve the fate of animals in the
city.
· Several new animal welfare agencies have begun operations, including various
breed-specific rescue groups.
· Animal Care Services (formerly Animal Control) has relocated from the
inadequate and very limited site on Navigation Boulevard to a modem, efficient
facility where the animals can be better cared for. In addition, adoption numbers
are steadily improving due to its clean and easily accessible location and
euthanasia numbers are declining.
· Death in the dreaded gas chamber has been replaced by the humane practice of
individual needle euthanasia by a highly trained and compassionate staff.
· The facility is managed by a skilled and competent director, and for the first time
has an adequate support staff and 10 licensed animal control officers, two of
whom are fully certified humane investigators "(animal cops)". New policy
assigns each officer to a particular area so that the officer and residents become
familiar with each other (reminiscent of the "cop on the beat"). This allows easier
identification of problems.
· The Animal Control Advisory Committee whose members are appointed by the
City Council functions as a liaison between the public and Animal Care Services.
The City Council assigned this committee the task of reviewing all existing
ordinances regulating animal concerns and to draft new legislation if the necessity
arose. This task was completed in September 2004. The City COWlcil accepted
the revised and newly composed ordinances (a total of more than 40 pages) in a
unanimous vote.
PROBLEMS:
· The sad reality however is that on any given day every shelter in Corpus Christi is
filled to capacity, generally with an extensive waiting list for incoming animals.
· Animal Care Services officers must regularly perform 'sweeps', i.e. collect stray
animals in targeted trouble areas while attempting to educate the residents. A
short time later more strays roam the same areas.
· Free or low cost vaccination clinics in conjunction with generous veterinarians
and various animal welfare groups are increasing the number of vaccinated dogs
and cats, but the majority of animals residing in the city remain unvaccinated and
unlicensed.
· Shelter populations generally consist of a mix of young and older animals, with
puppies and kittens comprising only a fraction of the animals awaiting their
uncertain fate. Studies have shown that the vast majority arrive due to their
previous owner's irresponsibility. Too often people do not consider the expense
and commitment of a 10 to 15 year lifespan when they bring a dog or cat into
their home. When the animal becomes inconvenient it often becomes dispensable
and is set free on the streets or if fortunate, finds itself in a shelter.
SOLUTION:
Alleviation of this dismal situation can only be achieved if the problem is addressed
simultaneously on three fronts.
I. Strict enforcement of all ordinances by animal control officers and the C.C.P.D.
Residents are encouraged to report violations. Already the results are
encouraging. A judge has been assigned to these cases and violators are now
being processed. fined and even incarcerated.
2. Intensive education of the public. Animal Control officers, animal welfare
representatives and other volunteers visit schools, civic organizations and
other forums that allow education in responsible pet ownership. In Texas, pets are
legally defined as property, completely subject to an owners will, the same as any
other non- viable possession. Children are highly receptive and great efforts are
being made to change the mindset in young people. This is especially important
in a generation exposed to much insensitivity and violence in the media and the
daily enviromnent.
3. An energetic and assertive low cost spay and neuter program; in conjunction with
1 and 2 above.
PROPOSAL:
Steady progress is being made in ordinance enforcement and education of the public on
responsible pet ownership. While there is still much room for improvement positive
trends can be seen. Currently, however, there is no opportunity for a large affordable
spay and neuter program accessible to the general public.
We wish to present to the governing board of your foundation the feasibility of
establishing a basic '"no frills" spay and neuter program that could have a major effect on
the animal population of Corpus Christi and eventually on the health and welfare of the
city's human residents.
The simple fact is that a vaccinated, spayed and neutered animal is a healthier, socially
better adjusted dog or cat. It is less likely to stray, display aggressive behavior, bite or
scratch and eventually be abandoned by its owners.
Three individuals were involved in researching this project and presenting the findings:
Susan Thiem (Immunologist, retired), Chair of Animal Care Advisory committee, and
long time animal welfare advocate.
Sami (Patricia) Rhvner (U.S. Navy Officer, Retired) recent member, Animal Control
Advisory Committee, past president of a humane society, and national member of two
breed specific rescue groups.
Cherne Snmz (Previously: Director, Institutional Care and Use Committee, UTMB) and
Division Manager of Animal Care Services
Susan Thiem and Sami Rhyner were privileged to make intensive site visits to two
successful spay and neuter clinics, both of which offered fun support in assisting the
establishment of III clinic in Corpus Christi. Cherrie Stunz researched the actual fiscal
requirements for the start-up of a clinic.
Site Visits:
SUsan Thiem: Prevent A Litter. Richmond. Vi~a
A visit was made to an organization called PAL (Prevent A Litter) veterinarian clinic in
Richmond, Virginia The clinic is an independent 501.C3 non-profit organi7Jltion. It
resides in a small two-story house in the middle of a very busy older residential and
commercial (restaurants, cafe's, small shops) district. A small sign on the door is the
only identification. It is a no-frills operation done in assembly line fashion. Everyone is
professional and efficient. All available space is utilized to the maximum for surgery,
recovery and storage. Animals are dropped off in carriers at 8:00 AM and must be
retrieved by the end of the day. One veterinarian, two technicians and some
administrative staff are paid employees with volWlteers assisting in education,
transportation of animals etc. Free advertising is done by word of mouth and PSA's on
radio and TV stations. All available funds go to cover salaries, supplies and needs
directly associated with the daily performance of surgeries. A maximum of 35 surgeries
are scheduled daily.
In April 2005 the clinic was in its Slh year of operation and was approaching its 34.000lh
spay and neuter surgery. In a city comparable in size to Corpus Christi this will have an
immense long-term effect.
Sami Rhvner: City of Seattle Animal Shelter. Seattle. Washifiiton
After an in depth computer search Sami discovered a spay and neuter clinic in Seattle,
Washington that is operated by the City of Seattle. Sami was able to visit and observe
dming a recent trip to the west coast.
The clinic was established by voter's approval and has been active for the past 20 years.
Dr. Zoulas, a competent veterinarian has been in residence the entire time. The clinic is
located on the city's Animal Control site with a separate entrance and waiting room.
Spay and neuter surgeries are the only procedures performed by the clinic. In additibn to
Dr. Zoulas, the city employs two veterinarian technicians and one administrator.
Minimal space is utilized for the necessary reception area, office space. operating and
recovery rooms. An average of 18 surgeries are performed daily with priority given to
Animal Control adoptees. The city maintains a large volunteer force to assist with animal
fostering, care and adoption programs.

BENEFITS OF A SPA Y AND NEUTER PROGRAM AT ANIMAL CARE
SERVICES SITE:
The law requires that animals adopted from shelters must be spayed or neutered. In the
absence of an on-site veterinarian newly adopted animals leave Animal Care Services
with a Spay/Neuter voucher that must be used within 30 days. Unfortwlately the return is
very low and follow-up by the staff is time consuming and labor intensive leaving many
animals unaltered. An in-house clinic would assure total compliance.
Stray cats could be collected, spayed or neutered and returned to their previous habitat to
live in "colonies". This prevents routine euthanasia. produces healthier animals and
guarantees the prevention of an exploding wild cat population.
The Seattle clinic serves the homeless human population who usually have companion
dogs with no access to veterinarian care, and often producing more Wlwanted litters.
Owners reclaiming their lost or impoW1ded pets would be encouraged to have the animal
"fixed" before reclaiming them. Unaltered roaming animals create the greatest number
of unplanned kittens and puppies.
Residents in low income areas are familiar with '"their" area control officer and are more
likely to allow their animals to be neutered after the officer explains the benefits of the
surgery .
The potential of sufficient space in one of the new Animal Care Services buildings on
Holly Road eliminates the purchase or rental of housing for a clinic.
CONCLUSION:
Low cost spay and neuter programs are an essential link in the three tiered approach to
humane control of the animal population in any given location.
Clinics are being established in various forms all around the country. Some function
independently as non-profit organizations, such as the one in Richmond, Virginia, others
are administered through private animal shelters. Ideally they should be closely
associated with animal control facilities where most of the stray and unwanted animal
population eventually arrives.
We have presented the need for and the feasibility of establishing a low-cost, high
efficiency, spay and neuter clinic on the site of Animal Care Services. Such a program in
conjW1Ction with education and ordinance enforcement would have a great impact on the
often bemoaned "over population" of animals in Corpus Christi. The generous offer of
two highly functional clinics to assist our city in starting a new program promises to
eliminate much trial and error time and the need to 're-invent the wheel'.
Once the start up cost for equipment is absorbed, salaries, basic maintenance and supplies
are expected to be the on-going costs.
This is an ideal situation for a pool of volunteers to be effective in diminishing some of
the expense and promoting a project with benefits to the entire community.
Please consider the establishment of a low cost spay and neuter clinic; a necessary project
with certain positive results for the people and animals of Corpus Christi.
