Shelter Plans To Save 90 Percent Of Its Animals By 2020

The Animal Foundation in Las Vegas today said its new goal is to save 90 percent of animals that enter its shelter by 2020.

The group’s board has set a goal to save all healthy and treatable animals, said executive director Christine Robinson.

Their Lied Animal Shelter is the largest shelter in Southern Nevada. Their staff will create a five-year strategic plan, which will be released this summer, showing how they can reach that goal.

Robinson said they hope to cut the large number of feral cats euthanized with a program trapping them, spaying or neutering and vaccinating them, and returning them to where they were found.
