SPCA Exiting New Port Richey

The Society For Prevention of Cruelty to Animals has canceled a contract with New Port Richey which guaranteed space in SPCA's no kill shelter for the city's strays. According to a Tampa Tribune article this week, the city had unresolved issues with the SPCA and the non profit agency was unhappy about the city's refusal to help fund a spay/neuter clinic. Now, all strays captured by the city officials will be taken to Pasco County Animal Services, where euthanasia is used to dispose of animals not adopted.
