POUND OPERATION
YEARLY SERVICE REPORT
PORT COQUITLAM

YEAR ~- 1978

GENERAL REMARKS:

The following ts a breakdown of the results of the Antmal Control Faetlity
during the year 1978,

Whitst complaints remained virtually the sane as the previous uear, 469 dogs
were impounded which ta an tnerease of 26 over the previous year. The claiming
of 265 dogs shoved a veduetion in the claim rate during 1978 as opposed to
1977. Itis duly noted that during the months of September, October, and
November that the number o f dogs destroued through the pound operation showed
a marked increase oven any other month in the Previous 2 vears, the question

ts why, and tt is felt that maybe the economy may have been responstble.

Income derived during the vear was very much in line with that achteved during
1977.

fhe number of animals destroued as surplua to hwnan requirements have shown
a great decrease, and it is sincerely hoped that in 1979 this will be reflected
in the number of complaints and tmpoundnents ,
