The city is expected to formally terminate its contract with the Volusia County SPCA on Monday, bringing an end for now to a dispute
over inadequate animal control service.The city Fire Department
actually took over animal control
responsibilities almost two weeks ago, although the city still has a contract with the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals.Relying on various interim agreements, the department assumed the
responsibility Dec. 24 after the SPCA said its shelter had no room for Deltona's stray cats and dogs.
