Business Notes (5/4/16)
Program honored by regional association
Southwest Florida Crime Stoppers was recently honored by the Southeastern Crime Stoppers Association as the Southeast’s Most Productive Program for its efforts during 2015.
The award was based on the number of arrests, cases cleared and the amount of drugs and property seized that year.
At the awards ceremony, held in Greensboro, North Carolina, Southwest Florida Crime Stoppers was also given the award for Most Creative Advertising for its multi-media response to the uptick in violent crimes last year, namely through billboards and a series of radio commercials encouraging the community to speak up and share information they have on the continued acts of violence.
This is the 10th consecutive year that Southwest Florida Crime Stoppers has been recognized as the most productive program in the Southeast United States.
Pet adoptions ongoing
Lee County Domestic Animal Services recently reported that the end of spring through the summer months typically results in a higher intake of animals.
Animal Services will offer discounts in May on pet adoptions with a campaign called “There’s No Place Like Home.”
Dogs 40 pounds or more and all cats can be adopted for just $40; adopters can get a second cat or kitten at no charge.
“There’s No Place Like Home” adoption fees still include more than $500 worth of veterinary and other services such as:
– Spay/neuter surgery
– Age-appropriate vaccinations
– Rabies vaccination and county license for pets older than 3 months
– 10-day pet health guarantee
– Microchip ID
– Feline leukemia and AIDS test for cats
– Heartworm test for dogs older than 6 months
– Flea treatment
– De-worming
The shelter, at 5600 Banner Drive, Fort Myers, is open Monday through Saturday from 10:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m.
Volunteers are available to help adopters select the pet that is best suited for their lifestyle and family.
Photos and information about lost pets or pets for adoption are available on the agency’s website at: www.leelostpets.com.
Adoption applications may be completed online.
