ADOPTION OF MINUTES The minutes of the Animal Advisory Committee for the meeting of January 12, 2005, were corrected to state that Laurie Davis was in attendance. The minutes were approved as amended. 2. ANIMAL SERVICE QUARTERLY REPORT Sheila presented the Quarterly Report for the period of January to March, 2005. It was agreed that financial donations made to the Shelter should be included in the Quarterly Report. 3. RABIES CLINIC Anne advised members that Councillor Foster had enquired about the possibility of hosting a rabies clinic, as has been done in the past. In response to this enquiry, Sheila gave a verbal response reporting that it has been the Region of Durham’s responsibility to host any such Clinics and they have indicated that they do not anticipate hosting any in the new future. The Region indicated that Rabies is not an issue in the Region. As well, they advocate regular through checkups with a veterinarian and this is often avoided when the animals are vaccinated at a rabies clinic. Animal Advisory Committee -2- May 11, 2005 4.
