Agenda: Resolution Accepting a 2026
Pet Adoption Grant from Best Friend
Animal Society
Resolution
We are requesting council to consider a grant opportunity from Best Friends
Animal Society to sponsor pet adoptions for the remainder of 2026. The grant
covers the expense of pet adoptions for dogs and cats for the remainder of this
year. We have estimated $6,000.00 for the remainder of the year to sponsor the
$75.00 dog adoption fee and the $50.00 cat adoption fee. Given the trends we
have seen in past years regarding adoption rates, we estimate there will be
approximately 80 adoptions left. A budget adjustment is needed.
