City Council Reduces SPCA Funding for Strays
The mayor and council tabled additional payments to the Washington County SPCA, halting stray and dead animal pickups. SPCA officials say handling costs average 7.50 per animal, yet funding offers only 3.19 per animal, forcing the agency to limit efforts to sick and injured animals within Hagerstown. The move raises questions about who handles bites and deceased animals and whether the city or health department will assume responsibility.
