DeKalb extends veterinary contract at shelter

The DeKalb County Commission recently agreed to extend its current veterinary contract for spay-neuter services at the county shelter.

The $33,150 month-to-month deal with Lifeline Animal Project of Avondale Estates will give the county time to review and plan new outsourcing efforts at the shelter.

A citizen task force report recently criticized the facility as outdated and unsanitary, calling for new investment and possible private contracts to improve the shelter and animal services operation.
