The Wood County Commission named a task force to study the issues of dogs and animal control within Wood County. Here is the final results of the Wood County Animal Task Force (pdf file).
Also its findings are shown here in this article.
The Humane of Parkersburg is using the findings from the Task Force to solicit help from other humane societies and animal advocates to urge their legislators to update the dog licensing fees in West Virginia. HSOP believes that counties should be enabled to set higher fees for unaltered animals to encourage spay neuter initiatives. This would take a legislative action to do this. FOHO has been interested in this for some time. The current licensing fees were set 60 years ago and have not be altered to keep up with rising costs to shelters that house these animals. We will keep you posted on how this develops. |

Please check our affiliate legislative action website for a recount of the 2010 legislative session www.fohowvla.org. Our spay neuter bill was placed into interim study. We will regroup on that bill and other important legislation for next year. Notable bills that passed were the 3 year rabies bill, a livestock standards bill and a spay neuter bill for adopted greyhounds. |
