Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen:
WHEREAS Oakland Pet Adoption Center has set a goal to develop the Oakland County
Animal Shelter into a "No More Home!ess Pet" adoption center by the end of the year 2010;. and

brought into the shelter as give-ups and strays; and

do not have their animals spayed or neutered; and

help animal owners, who are financially encumbered, to spay or neuter their animals at a low
cost. Over 2000 cats have been spayed or neutered since 2007 under this program; and
WHEREAS Tax monies would not be an appropriate funding source for this activity; and
WHEREAS Oakland Pet Adoption Center has partnered with the Michigan Pet Fund Alliance
and the Michigan Humane Society as resources of funding to pay for this program; and
WHEREAS The Michigan Pet Fund Alliance has made a donation of $ 26,400 to Oakland Pet
Adoption Center to offset costs, increase access and pay for spay arid neuter support; and
WHEREAS Oakland Pet Adoption Center will use the funds for spay and neuter procedures,
education; medications and support activities related to spay and neutering; and

approves acceptance of the $ 26,400 donation from the Michigan Pet Fund Alliance.
