IN RE: BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS – TRANSPARANCY POLICY FOR THE OAKLAND COUNTY PET ADOPTION CENTER
To the Oakland County Board of Commissioners Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen:
WHEREAS it is the goal of the Oakland Pet Adoption Center and the policy of the Oakland County Board of Commissioners to provide an open admission no kill shelter for the homeless cats and dogs in Oakland
County and as a service to Oakland County residents; and WHEREAS the philosophy of the no kill movement is to provide full accountability and transparency in all
aspects of sheltering; and WHEREAS annual reports are mandated and are currently provided by the Oakland Pet Adoption Center
to the Department of Agriculture and Rural Development, however tracking of improvement has only been available through these annual reports; and
WHEREAS it is important to publicly demonstrate the progress made toward the no kill goal by statistics that indicate:

BY: Commissioners Marcia Gershenson, District #13; Dave Woodward, District #19 IN RE: BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS – SUPPORT OF THE OAKLAND COUNTY PET ADOPTION
CENTER AS A “NO KILL” ANIMAL SHELTER To the Oakland County Board of Commissioners
Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen:
Commissioners Minutes Continued. March 6, 2013
97
WHEREAS there is a revolution – paradigm shift – occurring in the sheltering of homeless cats and dogs across the United States and in Michigan; and
WHEREAS this revolution is referred to as “no kill” where the euthanasia of cats and dogs is solely reserved for the true meaning of the word, “an act of mercy” for those too ill or vicious to be rehabilitated
and all healthy and treatable dogs and cats live and are rehomed; and WHEREAS there is a proven set of programs used to achieve a “no kill” status for an open admission
shelter called the No Kill Equation and shelters following this formula achieve a live release rate of 90% or better of their intake of cats and dogs; and
WHEREAS the No Kill Equation is based upon best practices and a problem solving proactive approach using the result of research and studies which are dispelling many long-held animal welfare beliefs such
as overpopulation, predictability of behavior by breed, rehabilitatable conditions and the influence of the shelter environment on medical and behavior responses; and
WHEREAS ten of Michigan’s 83 counties are following the No Kill Equation and saving 90% or more of the cats and dogs in their care; and
WHEREAS a study undertaken by the No Kill Advocacy Center in 2010 found no correlation between shelter expenditures and the ability to save lives, demonstrating that success in saving lives is not a
matter of dollars and cents but instead a matter of creative and innovative management; and WHEREAS the AP Petside Poll taken in October 2011 found that 71% of Americans expect shelters to
save all healthy and treatable cats and dogs in their care and reserve euthanasia for only those too ill or of danger to the community; and
WHEREAS Oakland County Pet Advocates have provided public comment at Board of Commissioners’ meetings in excess of six months, demanding that the Oakland Pet Adoption Center achieve the no kill
status sooner rather than later; and WHEREAS Oakland County residents expect an effective and efficient use of their tax dollars which
aligns with the problem solving approach of no kill; and WHEREAS the Oakland Pet Adoption Center has publically set as its goal to become a no kill shelter;
and WHEREAS the Oakland Pet Adoption Center has demonstrated their successful ability to improve
performance by:
• reducing shelter intake through proactive low cost spay/neuter programs for low income residents and Trap, Neuter and Return programs for free roaming cats and insuring all adopted animals are
spayed/neutered prior to adoption; and
• increasing adoptions through social media marketing, off-site adoption events, satellite locations
and collaboration with rescue organizations; and
• implementing medical protocols including efforts to physically separate dogs and cats; and
• leveraging community support through the use of volunteers.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of Commissioners supports the Oakland County Pet Adoption Center in their goal to achieve a no kill status and declares it to be the policy of Oakland County government to be a no kill county.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of Commissioners establishes that on or before January 2015 the Oakland Pet Adoption Center should achieve no kill status, saving 90% or better of the shelter intake and rehoming all healthy and treatable cats and dogs.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Oakland County Clerk/Register of Deeds is requested to forward copies of this adopted resolution to the Oakland County Executive, the Oakland County Pet Adoption Center, the Michigan Pet Fund Alliance and the No Kill Advocacy Center.
Chairperson, we move the adoption of the foregoing resolution.

IN RE: BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS – ADOPTION POLICY REFORM OF THE OAKLAND COUNTY PET ADOPTION CENTER
To the Oakland County Board of Commissioners Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen:
WHEREAS it is the goal of the Oakland Pet Adoption Center and the policy of the Oakland County Board of Commissioners to provide an open admission no kill shelter for the homeless cats and dogs in Oakland
County and residents of Oakland County; and WHEREAS policy reform can assist a shelter in achieving a no kill status; and
WHEREAS it is the desire of the Oakland County Board of Commissioners to establish policies which assist the Oakland Pet Adoption Center in achieving a no kill status; and
WHEREAS the proven formula called the No Kill Equation requires a cooperative and collaborative relationship between an open admission shelter and not for profit foster home based rescue organizations
that can better attend to special needs (age, medical condition, behavior rehabilitation) of the animals that are difficult to address in a shelter environment; and
WHEREAS the No Kill Equation also includes a Trap, Neuter and Return program which is the only proven successful approach to diminish and eventually eliminate feral cats; and
WHEREAS special need animals (age, medical condition, behavior rehabilitation) and feral cats are often killed in shelters due to their requirement of additional/special attention; and
WHEREAS the killing of a cat or dog averages between $40 and $50 dollars in staffing, equipment and disposal costs; and
WHEREAS when special need animals or feral cats are adopted/taken by a rescue organization or placed within an existing colony it is not only a more humane alternative, it saves taxpayer dollars; and
WHEREAS the spaying/neutering of animals performed at the shelter is very cost effective but is a costly procedure for rescue organizations to have performed; and
WHEREAS spaying/neutering of homeless cats and dogs is the most effective preventative step in reducing future shelter intake.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of Commissioners hereby establishes the following policies for the Oakland County Pet Adoption Center:
(1) No dog or cat that is determined to be either healthy or treatable by the shelter veterinarian (not critically ill, or a danger to the community) shall be killed by the shelter until the dog or cat is
offered to all 501(c)(3) animal rescue organizations registered with Oakland County and following the Best Practices and Code of Ethics (identified by the Michigan Pet Fund Alliance’s Michigan
Rescue Certification Program), for a period of one calendar week upon first notification. All cats and dogs adopted (transferred) in partnership to rescue organizations under this policy shall have
all fees waived and the animal will be spayed/neutered prior to transfer (unless medical conditions dictate otherwise in which case the rescue can return at a future date for the
spay/neuter procedure). (2) No feral cat shall be accepted by the shelter. If a cat is found to be feral that has been accepted
by the shelter, the cat shall be spayed/neutered and integrated into an existing colony within the OAKCATS program, transferred to a Barn Program or integrated into any colony that the shelter
establishes or maintains. BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Oakland County Clerk/Register of Deeds is requested to forward
copies of this adopted resolution to Oakland County Executive, the Oakland County Pet Adoption Center, the Michigan Pet Fund Alliance and the No Kill Advocacy Center.
