County approves hire for CPAS vet to curb overpopulation
Craven-Pamlico Animal Shelter has funds to hire a part time veterinarian to spay and neuter incoming animals but needs 35 000 to 50 000 more in cash or equipment. Beeson says approval came July 1 after six months of county efforts. Without the vet, euthanasia rates stay high due to feral colonies and intake growth.
