A shelter staff member who presented the quarterly statistics said the TNR program is “inclusive” and described the operational steps: caretakers retrieve and return traps, the shelter picks up animals, holds them overnight, transports them for testing and surgery, and returns them to the caretaker after recovery. The staff member said the program “hold[s] 4 spots a week” for residents using the service and that feral cats receive testing for feline leukemia, rabies vaccination and an ear clip to mark participation in the program.

Board members asked about zone-level TNR counts and the shelter’s impound numbers. The presenter confirmed that Zone 8 recorded 33 TNR cases in the quarter and that Zone 4 showed a notably high count; the presenter explained localized feeder situations and previously unreported colonies can cause spikes in particular areas. The presenter said the TNR map covers cases since the program’s inception in September 2022, while the quarterly charts show only that quarter’s counts.

On impounds the presenter said the shelter took in 96 dogs and 52 cats this quarter and recorded 94 “other” impounds, which the staff member explained include wildlife and livestock such as squirrels, rabbits, possums, snakes and skunks. The presenter said the shelter does not provide routine removal of small animals caught on glue traps but will attempt to coordinate with rehabilitators when wildlife is involved.

During the work session the board discussed future meeting dates through 2026. The presenter said the board typically schedules meetings in February, May and August to allow time for state-required postings and preparation of statistics; the board directed staff to hold Nov. 5, 2025, as an additional meeting date and asked staff to circulate the full calendar when confirmed.

Several board members asked to return the shelter facilities and renovation discussion to a future regular agenda after reviewing the quarter’s numbers; one member said rising intake and the city's growth made additional space a priority. The board authorized adding that topic to the next meeting’s agenda.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Wylie - Animal Shelter Advisory Board","oneSentenceSummary","Board members reviewed the shelter's 2025 second-quarter statistics, asked questions about the trap-neuter-return program and wildlife impounds, and discussed scheduling and plans to revisit facility space and renovations.","taxTitle","Wylie, Collin County, Texas","taxId",4600,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":80,"_47":81,"_49":82,"_51":83,"_53":84,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":85,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":86,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6487615,"Wylie Animal Shelter Advisory Board reappoints chair, elects vice chair and approves minutes",170,150000,320000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5578027-03e35ff802d82d4db198b043f9900eed&start=150&end=320","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5578027-03e35ff802d82d4db198b043f9900eed/thumbnail_150000.jpg","/articles/6487615/Wylie/Collin-County/Texas/Wylie-Animal-Shelter-Advisory-Board-reappoints-chair-elects-vice-chair-and-approves-minutes","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6487615-904c16619e0b826d227d9e7b9c407a7b/orig.mp4?Expires=1771145598&Signature=EO1TcMf25vr3t149NogT1p-sU9SZ6zBYtOBnuU5sIp08Y1~awM7X8NhNclRkvX7BMeLNGaGjHtcmPOue6Y7XTAapwuYNhc6RGmMhUqiFZCF3EF8gASJldwM2-0JjkPANyzhtw23JLiCkI8Y9aerfMTILLt350f7gGM-PXA~EVy4-r8X3RmCTKDeRcDc4iQvYSEh6dKFs1npMQhYYQqq-4r20nELsagC-6AQURRQgI9LN~GIkBjh826NmCLorbZNnAbFtZ6Vdh7Ru2mNfen78aNqd4CVqiy1kJlriBVcZTrojJp-soCVUHRBCmWqtVVvV3npv5VoP9fb1OnCbNsVefg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Wylie Animal Shelter Advisory Board unanimously reappointed Amber Porter as chair and elected Michael Schwerin as vice chair during its Aug. 13, 2025 meeting at the Wylie Municipal Center.
