DISCUSSION:
Ms. Lisa Robinson, Program Manager of the Petfinder.eom Foundation, has advised staff at the Chuck
Silcox Animal Care and Control Center that the shelter has been selected to receive $36,000.00 to help
reduce the number of stray dogs euthanized Because of Bordetella. Bordetella, commonly called kennel
cough, is an infectious disease that results in persistent, sometimes severe, cough. The grant will be used
to purchase vaccines for incoming dogs in an effort to control the spread of the disease within the shelter
environment and to limit the number of adopted dogs returned to the shelter due to the infection.
In return for the grant funding, shelter staff has agreed to follow all standard protocols and procedures for
vaccine inventory monitoring, safe handling and vaccine storage and administration. The shelter will
administer the vaccine using aveterinarian-recommended intranasal dosage and procedure. Staff will
track vaccine records and subsequent dog health and report results of using the vaccine to the
P~tfi~ ~der.com Foundation.
