OTHELLO The Othello City Council voted unanimously during Monday evening’s regular meeting to enter into a one-year contract for dog sheltering services with Hands 'N Paws Animal Assistance. The council also approved the purchase of three large kennels for the city’s temporary animal control building.
Othello Mayor Shawn Logan introduced the contract and purchase requests.
“The services that (Hands 'N Paws) would provide in essence are the same services that we were in the contract with Adams County Pet Rescue for because we offered them the same contract,” Logan said. “The only difference is they decided to accept it.”
The city is still responsible for certain animal control services under the new contract.
