Longview, TX — Longview Mayor Jay Dean announced the name of a new task force that will be charged with finding a solution to the city’s animal overpopulation problem.
During the next two or three weeks, people from all walks of the community will be asked to serve on the “Operation Save the Animals” task force, Dean said at Thursday’s meeting of the City Council.
Once formed, the task force will take 60 to 90 days to work toward a solution to overcrowding issues at the Humane Society of Northeast Texas animal shelter serving Longview, which receives financial support from the city.

Glad to see the Mayor taking proactive steps toward improvimg the conditions and management of the animal shelter. I strongly believe that if cities' would view their animal shelter facilities as they do utilities they would become self-sustaining. It needs to generate revenue coming in from the products sold (animals), technically speaking of course. If it were run accordingly where resources like funding, well trained staff & time are used wisely, changes for the better will be common place.
