Manatee County unanimously adopts ‘no-kill’ animal policy

Manatee County Commissioners unanimously adopted a No-Kill policy Tuesday which formalizes Manatee’s goal to save as many dogs and cats as possible by achieving 90 percent live release rate.

Kris Weiskopf, Animal Services Chief, said Manatee County is working regularly with animal welfare organizations, animal shelters, the media and the public to increase animal fostering and adoptions, to promote free or low-cost spay/neutering programs, and to promote a trap/neuter/return program for feral cats, public relations and community involvement.

“We are one of the few governments in the country and, I think the first in the state of Florida, that has a no-kill policy approval from the County Commission,” said Commission Chair Carol Whitmore who has pushed Manatee County to become a no-kill community for nearly four years.
