Boone Animal Control Hours Under Review | Des Moines News

Boone’s animal control is set for a major shift—new hours, fewer after-hours calls, and a budget bump. The city’s current contract with the Boone Area Humane Society would slash response times to 9 AM–5 PM, Monday–Saturday, with emergencies only outside those hours. Lost pets and healthy strays? Gone. The humane society’s asking for an 8% budget hike to make up for the reduced scope. City council tabled the vote for now, saying they need more time to weigh the impact. The debate’s far from over—Boone’s animal control future is still up in the air. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
