by Animal Defenders of Polk County

Please address one of these items if you intend to speak out on Tuesday, November 18th, at the Commissioner’s Meeting: 9 am
Demand that they move animal control under a separate entity, away from the sheriff, with animal welfare-specific management for a brighter future.
Demand that they allow volunteers back into the building to walk, socialize, and promote these animals, empowering a culture of compassion.
Demand transparency and accountability of the $5.5 million budget, because every dollar counts in the pursuit of animal welfare.
Demand an animal advocacy committee for advice and accountability, guiding us towards a more humane tomorrow.
Demand transparency and answers to our public records requests, shining a light on the path to progress.
Demand a countywide voucher program for spay/neuter for owned animals and community cats, transforming lives through kindness. Join us and speak up. You do not need to live in Polk to advocate for what is humane.
