The officers, who <br />are available 2417, 365 days of the year, do their <br />best to answer all calls regarding stray animals, <br />lost animals, abused animals and neglected <br />animals. The kennel staff, that is available 7 days <br />a week, year round, does its best to provide <br />compassionate care for all the animals that find <br />their temporary home at the shelter. <br />7 <br />
