POCATELLO — Bobi Briscoe’s cat had actually been missing out on for a number of days, and her kids were getting afraid. None of them understood what had actually taken place to Gretel the cat, and they fidgeted they wouldn’t see her once again.
She chose to look for Gretel at the Pocatello Animal Shelter and discovered an icon on the website identified ‘Stray Animal List.’ She clicked it and discovered an image of her cat.
Briscoe is the very first individual to take advantage of the web page, which the city just recently released to help individuals with missing out on animals.
Animal Services Director Chris Abbott informs EastIdahoNews.com there’s typically miscommunication about the animal’s look when individuals call into the shelter. He’s hoping this will make it simpler.
“One dog going back home is definitely worth it,” Abbott says. “We’re not in the business of holding animals. We want to get them back to their owners as soon as possible.”
The brand-new website is different from the already existing Petfinder page, where individuals can see all animals in the shelter. The Stray Animal List concentrates on animals rescued over the last 3 days.
While it doesn’t use all the functions Abbott would like, he thinks about the Stray Animals List a good beginning point.
“We will probably upgrade because we want to put some more information on each individual picture, (including) where the animal was found, gender (and) color (to) give the owner a better experience,” Abbott discusses.
Abbott says individuals lose animals for a range of factors, such as kids letting the dogs out, dogs leaping fences or digging out of the backyard. So it isn’t always the owner’s fault.
“Things happen,” Abbott discusses. “We’re here to keep the dog safe until they can come and reclaim it.”
Briscoe excitedly awaited the shelter to open when she concerned get Gretel and bring her home. She began meowing and rubbing versus the cage when Briscoe got in the building.
“It was so nice to get her home and she was very happy to be back in her own environment. The kids loved on her for days after that,” Briscoe said.
