Thanks to all our members and friends who participated!

Animal control contract update:
SpokAnimal Director Gail Mackie and Operations Director Laura Thulean met with City staff on Monday, November 28 to discuss extending our current contract for animal control services for the City of Spokane. On Tuesday, November 29, City staff met additionally with our Board of Directors to discuss options. We were asked to submit modifications to the last contract to the City by November 30, for presentation to the City Council for first reading on December 5. There is basically no change to the existing contract other than some language. At this time, we are waiting for the wheels of government to turn. Please encourage the current council members to extend the current contract. Because this is being presented in December, the current sitting council members will be voting on the extension. Things change, so keep tuned for updates.

Adoptable animals at SpokAnimal are evaluated by trained staff using the ASPCA®’s Meet Your Match™

(MYM)—a unique program that seeks to increase adoption rates and decrease return rates in shelters across the country, by assessing the “Canine-ality™” and “Puppy-ality™” of adoptable dogs and puppies, as well as the “Feline-ality™” of adoptable cats, and matching them with their perfect pet parents. Created by Dr. Emily Weiss.



We are pleased to announce that
we have been accepted as a
One Hope Network shelter partner.

Animal Shelter Assistance Program

AAG Insurance
Pet Shelter Assistance Program!

AAG Insurance and its employees want to support our local "no Kill" animal shelters. We are all animal lovers. One of our manager's Shih-tzu named "Beau-Beau" came up missing in rural Washington. He was extremely impressed with how the shelters in the area work tirelessly to find missing dogs homes and to re-home the unclaimed.

So AAG is committed to assisting the shelters in their communities. What we are doing is making an active effort to stockpile animal supplies and are opening up our offices to host pet-adoption days. Drop off your supplies at any of our offices.

We get a lot of referrals each month. Our friends and clients tell their friends to give us a call. Anytime that happens we always want to say thank you. We give the referring person a gift card, and enter them in a drawing for $500 cash, as well as monthly drawings for $50 cash. We are also going to give $10.00 each time to our AAG Pet Shelter Assistance Program shelters that we selected.

All you have to do is go to our website and fill out the "Refer a Friend" form under the "Contact Us" Tab!

SPAY WASHINGTON

Spay Washington is a statewide referral network for low cost spay/neuter services. Participating veterinarians or clinics lower their prices an average of 15-50% for our clients. Many people in Washington are unable to afford to spay or neuter their pets, even though they want to do the right thing for their pets and their communities. Please, help us reduce the euthanasia of healthy, adoptable animals by assisting pet owners throughout the state by donating to Spay Washington today. Angela Scheres, Program Director.
