  found

  more

  500	
  animals,	
  spayed

  2,376	
  animals,	
  vaccinated	
  4,400

  responded

 Hills.	
  Later	
  this	
  year,	
  the	
  city	
  of	
  Mountain	
  View	
  will	
  end	
  its	
  contract	
  with	
  PAAS,	
  
 resulting	
  in	
  a	
  $450,000	
  loss	
  of	
  revenue.	
  
 	
  
 PAAS	
  is	
  a	
  vital	
  local	
  resource,	
  and	
  we	
  urge	
  the	
  City	
  Council	
  to	
  explore	
  alternatives	
  to	
  
 closing	
  the	
  shelter.
