.
Bill Bruce, head of Animal Services in Calgary, Alberta, has achieved international status for his progressive and compassionate Animal Control. Bill has two certified veterinarians and four qualified teachers on his Animal Control staff.
His Officers are all certified mediators; his partnerships included the police and animal rescue trained firefighters with equipment for animals on all fire trucks. An on-site spay/neuter clinic opened this past summer to increase the availability of services for low-income residents.
Most animals entering this shelter need and receive dental surgery paid for by Bill. Anything else needed to increase the adoptability of each animal is performed at this clinic.
There are no healthy, adoptable animals killed in Calgary! None! No tax payer dollars are spent to fund the five million dollar budget for this Animal Control. This Animal Control gives grants to rescue groups and every year, a $250,000 grant to the Humane Society
Please join us to hear Bill Bruce speak about his successful model which encompasses care for all lost, stray and homeless animals while working in the best interest of the citizens of Calgary
