Vulnerable animals lose amid City Hall drama over Dallas police-SPCA impasse | SharonFGrigsby
Exposing problems doesn’t count for much on my personal scorecard unless actual solutions ensue.
So far the only response, via police spokeswoman Kristin Lowman, is the department will schedule meetings with the SPCA and with“to help us on short-term support for the services the animal cruelty unit needs to operate effectively.” My reporting last week on the breakdown of the SPCA-DPD partnership also turned up another development not previously made public., which for 17 years provided southern Dallas residents free and low-cost animal care.
A Dec. 22, 2022, memo to the City Council from Assistant City Manager Carl Simpson says the SPCA’s most recent five-year lease expired last January. The nonprofit has since operated on a month-to-month lease. “I didn’t tell them to get out. The city of Dallas didn’t tell them to get out,” she said. “I was hopeful they would stay and submit for the RFP.”
Webber also wants to ensure the tenant provides regular metrics on its work so the city knows residents are being well-served.Froehlich told me the SPCA had been very happy to serve southern Dallas residents, but the city informed her organization earlier this year “they would be changing how the building was going to be used.”
Asked about the loss of services to southern Dallas residents, for whom the Village Fair site was one of only two free and low-cost clinics south of Interstate 30, Froehlich said the location is not far from the Martin clinic.
