Members of the Summit County are gathering signatures to get an ordinance on the November balance. If approved, it would change the way animal control operates.
AKRON, Ohio — There are renewed calls for change at Summit County Animal Control. Members of the public are gathering signatures to get an ordinance on the November ballot. If approved, it would change the way animal control operates.
But she said all of that changed in 2020. When COVID-19 shut down the world, Summit County Animal Control shut its doors to the public too, and when restrictions started loosening up elsewhere, Summit County Animal Control continued with its pandemic policies. Greta Johnson, the Assistant Chief of Staff to the Summit County Executive, said the post-pandemic policies are what work best for the animals.
“We were really the only animal facility that didn't have training and education and sign-up times for volunteers. We want to make sure that our volunteers are educated in how to handle and care for animals, make sure that we understand if they have any restrictions, that we can accommodate those. Prior to the pandemic, volunteers really had sort of unfettered access, so there might be a day where 15 people showed up at the same time and only two the next day," said Johnson.
Soles and others in the group are going to various city meetings and gatherings throughout the areas of Summit County to gather the 20,000 signatures they need to get it on the November ballot. The signatures have to come from registered voters and they have to sign in person.“Our tax dollars pay for these dogs.
