The San Antonio City Council appears ready to throw Animal Care Services a bone.
During a presentation on the department’s updated strategic plan Wednesday, multiple council members commented about a need to increase ACS’s $21.4 million budget. Specific numbers weren’t mentioned, and ACS Director Shannon Sims didn’t have a hard estimate on how much it would take.
“I say that from the fact that we have have been in talks with their communities over the last year. Do I think that it probably garners more attention because of the February attack? But a lot of what we’re talking about wouldn’t even impact that,” Sims said. Loose dogs are one of the top animal-related concerns for San Antonians, ACS said, and a focus of the new plan would be a focus on making sure people feel safe.
