customer service training and development for the animal services
staff to equip them with the skills required to provide quality animal
services;

the development of an animal services website to better promote and
publicize animal services available to the citizens of the three
communities;

ownership! publicize the plight of homeless pets!. find good, loving
homes for unwanted pets and seek the public's assistance in

working relationships with local pet fanciers such as veterinarians, pet
store owners! animal shelter operators! rescue groups! etc., to find
good, loving homes for homeless pets and to promote responsible pet
ownershir; and,
establishing a pet foster program to increase the chances that animals
