Shelter Donations for Abandoned Puppies

9/29/2020

0 Comments

 
9/29/20 @ 9:30 a.m. - Last week, Nassau County Animal Services (NCAS) announced that a female dog and her 11 puppies were found locked in a cage and abandoned in the woods in Callahan. We wanted to take a moment to thank the nice resident who located these pups and took the time to bring them to the shelter.

Fortunately, all the dogs were found to be in overall good condition. Upon sharing their photos and asking the public for help with puppy food, dozens of residents made generous donations to the shelter. A big thank you to all those individuals as well! We are fortunate to live in such a caring and giving community.

The puppies have all been adopted, however, the mother dog, Mary, is still available for adoption. She is estimated to be about 2 years old and weighs 35 pounds. NCAS staff said she is very gentle and kind and is already house broken. To learn more about Mary, please visit the Shelter's website.

Board Votes to End Mask Mandate

9/23/2020

2 Comments

 
9/23/20 @ 8:30 p.m.

At today’s special meeting, the Board voted 3-2 to end the mandatory mask mandate, effective at noon tomorrow. Health Director, Dr. Seidel, spoke at the meeting and credited several mitigation efforts to the recent low case counts including use of masks, social distancing and frequent hand washing.

Though the mandate has been lifted, residents are still strongly encouraged to wear masks when unable to socially distance. Further, businesses can still implement their own mask mandates should they choose. Please note that masks will still be required in all County facilities.

A Executive Order outlining the new guidelines will be issued tomorrow.

The Board will continue to meet weekly and hear updates from Dr. Seidel. Should cases begin to spike again, the Board could consider reinstating the mandate in the future.
