Discuss and consider possible action to adopt a zero-tolerance policy stating that the euthanization of healthy or treatable animals at Corpus Christi Animal Care Services for space, capacity, or operation reasons is strictly forbidden, will not be authorized, and will not be justified under any circumstances, with mandatory reporting and oversight to ensure compliance, as requested by Council Members Eric Cantu, Carolyn Vaughn, and Kaylynn Paxson.

This item requests the City Council to adopt a zero-tolerance policy prohibiting the euthanization of healthy or treatable animals at Corpus Christi Animal Care Services due to space, capacity, or operational reasons. The policy would mandate mandatory reporting and oversight to ensure compliance. This proposal was initiated by Council Members Eric Cantu, Carolyn Vaughn, and Kaylynn Paxson.

This policy aims to prevent the euthanization of healthy or treatable animals in city shelters, potentially increasing adoption opportunities and ensuring better animal welfare outcomes for the community.
