Our Center receives rescued birds from individuals, the SPCA,
various city animal control departments, and Texas game wardens from the North Texas area.
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.
Local governments — counties, townships, special districts, and municipalities (
cities, towns, and boroughs)-- administer
animal control in
various ways.
