Doesn’t the City of Bartlesville subsidize the Washington County SPCA?
The Washington County SPCA facility has two distinct areas: our adoption facilities and our City impound facility. The City of Bartlesville has a contract with the Washington County SPCA to care for the animals brought in by Animal Control. Our shelter receives money from the City to house, feed, and care for these animals. While these animals are in our facility we do everything within our power to find the animals’ guardians. We field phone calls, email and visits from the public to reunite the animals with their families. Our contract with the City provides that we keep these animals for three days prior to them entering our adoption facility.
