January 9, 2024 <br />City of Roseville <br />2660 Civic Center Dr <br />Roseville, MN 55113 <br />Dear Municipal Administrator, <br />well as the impact they have on people in our community. We look forward to continuing our partnership with <br />you in 2024. <br />We experienced several issues last year, so there are some things we wanted to clarify. There have been <br />differences between the language of the contract and how municipalities are using impound services. This <br />impacts our ability to operate effectively and efficiently. We understand how important impound services are <br />for cities and the people they serve. We have specific processes we must follow to allow us to be an open <br />admission shelter for the community and continue to provide impound services that support municipalities. <br />-The contract is to house only stray or abandoned companion (non-farm/livestock) animals. If the <br />owner of the animal is known, it should only come to us if abandoned by that owner (including if that <br />owner is taken to jail). ŷĻ ĭƚƓƷƩğĭƷ ķƚĻƭ ƓƚƷ źƓĭƌǒķĻ ŷƚǒƭźƓŭ ƚǞƓĻķ ğƓźƒğƌƭ ķǒĻ Ʒƚ ĬźƷĻ ƨǒğƩğƓƷźƓĻ <br />ƚƩ źŅ ƷŷĻǤ ğƩĻ ķĻĻƒĻķ ķğƓŭĻƩƚǒƭ ƚƩ ƦƚƷĻƓƷźğƌƌǤ ķğƓŭĻƩƚǒƭ͵ <br />-We understand that sometimes longer holds are needed for stray and abandoned animals. Any extra <br />holding time or services are not included in normal contract fees. <br />o Bite quarantine for a stray or abandoned animal necessitates a vet exam after a 10-day hold or <br />euthanasia and diagnostic testing. There is an additional fee of $630 for this service. <br />o Housing stray or abandoned animal that is also a Dangerous or Potentially Dangerous dog or is <br />generally unsafe exposes our staff to more risk and requires extra housing space. There is a <br />surcharge of $75/day will be added to normal contract fees. <br />-If a municipality is handling a legal seizure of animals, they must reach out to the designated AHS <br />contact for guidance and direction if they need or want support from Animal Humane Society. This <br />contract does not apply to those situations. <br />-Please have officers fill out the intake form as completely as possible, especially if there is a bite <br />involved. Incomplete information makes the process and potential follow up with Department of <br />Health more difficult and it makes it more likely that rabies prophylaxis may be needed. <br />-Deceased animals must have intake paperwork filled. <br />Qbhf!291!pg!367 <br /> <br />
