MAY VOTE CHATHAM COUNTY LEADERS MAY VOTE TODAY ON CHANGING LAWS REGARDING ANIMALS... THAT INCLUDES WHAT YOU SHOULD DO WHEN YOU ENCOUNTER A STRAY ANIMAL...

ANIMAL SERVICES TAKES IN ANIMALS EVERYDAY AND THE NUMBER OF CATS AND DOGS THEY HAVE CAN EASILY GET OUT OF HAND. ONE OF THE CHANGES TO THE ORDINANCE THAT COMMISSIONERS ARE VOTING ON TODAY IS THAT YOU WOULD áNOTá BE REQUIRED TO BRING A STRAY TO THE SHELTER.
