The Kenai City Council enacted an ordinance that would accept and appropriate private donations to the Kenai Animal Shelter for the care of animals. The Kenai Animal Shelter recently received monetary donations from a number of donors totaling $591.38, and those funds are intended to support the care of animals at the shelter.
City of Kenai Mayor Brian Gabriel said:
“I think I can probably just speak for the entire body when I’d like to just to express our gratitude for the monetary donations. It looks like we have individual donors are Sara and Glenn Lockwood, James Spalding, Shan Tanttila, Gerald Johnson, Barbara Dilly, a Petfinder donation, and an anonymous donation. Thank you for those folks to donate to our animal control shelter.”
The Animal Control Chief has identified equipment modification needs for the utilization of the donated funds. The identified improvements to be made at the shelter with the funds will help improve the care of animals. The improvement being pursued will allow staff to replace some current dog kennel latches that no longer function properly, which will help ensure the safety of both dogs, staff, and volunteers.
Kenai Police Chief Dave Ross wrote to council requesting consideration of the ordinance accepting and appropriating the donated funds to assist in the care of the animals as they were intended.
Accepting these donations will help further the mission of the Kenai Animal Shelter, which is to provide humane care and shelter to all animals housed at the shelter, and to fairly enforce the city’s code of animal ordinances throughout the City of Kenai.
