APL to ask county for money Shelter in the red due to number of animals and surgeries

The Ashtabula County Animal Protective League’s finances are going to the dogs, and that isn’t a good thing, APL board president Nancy Warner said.
Last week Warner revealed the shelter’s dire financial situation and said the shelter will likely close if they don’t raise $40,000 by the end of the year.
“The overcrowding and the immense cost of surgeries for each animal have put the shelter in a terrible financial place,” Warner said.
The APL and its many, many animals is hoping to wriggle out of their financial tight spot and Warner said Saturday’s Boo-Wow Walk success is a major turning point.
“Certainly this will help, but in the end we will have to secure more funding, especially from the county,” she said.
Warner encourages county residents to express their thoughts on APL funding by writing letters and e-mail to the county commissioners.
“I think it is important for the commissioners to see how important animal control and the welfare of the county’s homeless pets are to the people of Ashtabula County,” she said.
Funding is needed for day-to-day operating expenses, including the shelter’s significant veterinary expenses for the spay/neuter of every homeless animal and maintenance and improvements to the shelter facility, Warner said.
