Targeted Enforcement Sweeps Begin Next Thursday of Baldwin, Blake, Prescott, Tarleton and Surrounding Cross Streets

In keeping with our dedication to reduce the stray animal population and educate the community on responsible pet ownership, Corpus Christi Animal Care Services (CCACS) continues to utilize the Target Spay/Neuter Program. One step of this process is the enforcement stage. Enforcement sweeps will begin on 10/24/2013 for Baldwin, Blake, Prescott, Tarleton and surrounding streets.

Our targeted programs focus on the animals at the greatest risk of being put down in the shelter or abandoned on the street. We choose neighborhoods based on Geographic Information Systems (GIS) mapping of high impound and stray areas. GIS lets us see the community through real data and not through generalizations. This means greater efficiency while using limited resources.

In addition to targeted enforcement of specific areas, CCACS Animal Control Officers perform neighborhood stray sweeps each Thursday. On 10/17/2013, Animal Control Officers issued 22 citations and rescued 10 stray dogs from the below streets:

800 block Redmond St.

3900 block Bradford Dr.

400 block W. Clark

1300 block S. Alameda

200 block Torreon St.

900 block Mendoza St.

1400 and 1500 blocks Buenos Aires

CCACS is committed to providing accessible spay neuter resources, rescuing stray animals off the streets of Corpus Christi as-well-as educating and empowering people to care for their pets.
