JERSEY CITY, NJ (GovWire) - Jersey City is taking steps to improve its animal shelter services. During the recent Jersey City Municipal Caucus Meeting, Speaker 28 presented a fee schedule for the new animal shelter, which the city will be opening on January 1st. The fees will help offset the costs of operation and in all cases, have been set at or under the current shelter fees. The city has also included a discount rate for adoptions to special classes of people such as U.S. military vets, people with low income, and people with disabilities to help make those services more accessible.
Speaker 28 also mentioned that the city is currently involved in the contracting process with three different veterinary providers. The city has found the entire staff that they are looking for and plans to offset the cost of the shelter by revenue from other sources, such as fees and hiring a staff veterinarian or part-time veterinarians.
The city is also looking forward to having an active volunteer program and being able to take people into the shelter by appointment seven days a week and to have walk-in hours at least four days a week, including Saturdays, Sundays, and at least two evenings.
This move is a step towards improving the animal shelter services in Jersey City and providing better care for the animals in the city.
