What is the primary purpose of the sheltering committee?

The primary purpose of the sheltering committee is to establish a statewide Spay and Neuter program. This initiative is critical for controlling pet populations, reducing the number of homeless animals, and alleviating the burden on shelters. By implementing spay and neuter programs, the committee aims not only to ensure better management of animal populations but also to promote public health and responsible pet ownership within the community.

While promoting animal adoption programs and recommending disbursements of funds are significant activities, they are often secondary to the foundational goal of reducing overpopulation through spaying and neutering. Similarly, overseeing veterinary educational standards is important but does not align with the specific mission of the sheltering committee, which is focused directly on the welfare and management of sheltered animals through spay and neuter initiatives.
