Brookhaven FOIL (Emergency Care Contract)
The emergency vet care agreement was written to provide emergency medical services for shelter animals.
Several problems have surfaced with this arrangement.
The procedure for STRAY animals found when the shelter is CLOSED is unclear and obtaining AUTHORIZATION is difficult.
This includes
- stray dogs
- stray dogs in need of medical attention
- stray cats/kittens in need of medical attention
One other complication involved a stray dog brought to the emergency clinic by a good samaritan when the shelter was closed. The dog was subsequently released to a person claiming to be the owner, but was not.
When the agreement expired on 06/08/19, the town board authorized a renewal but agreements were not signed.
The reasons for this are unclear.
