The letter stated that the consensus of the Board was to have Blue put down, but would be willing to look
into the rehabilitation and permanent re- homing option as an alternative. The letter further stated if Blue
is placed with a rehabilitation home or agency for permanent re- homing, the owner would be responsible
up front for the costs that have been incurred with the animal shelter and costs to have him neutered.
The determination hearing was tabled until June 27, 2013 and Ms. Snider was asked to return her
decision to the City Attorney before that date.
Ms. Snider had not responded; therefore, each Board member entered their Findings of Fact into the
record. All members of the Board recommended Blue be euthanized or placed with an agency for
permanent re- homing.
Ms. Lawson moved to accept all Findings of Fact that determine the dog be euthanized or placed with an
agency for permanent re- homing, supported by Mr. Foster. Upon a vote viva voce, the motion carried.
Ms. Snider has twenty (20) days to appeal this decision
