Today on City Beat, I am talking with Carol Branham, the Mayor of Nevada. We will be talking about her role as the new mayor of Nevada and how her civic life has changed. The Mayor says she is glad she does not work full-time, so she can devote her days to the City of Nevada. We will discuss hot topics like the Animal Shelter and the Pool. Carol mentions that the 2023 City Audit is almost finished, allowing the city to pursue pool renovations. We will also talk bout how the city council is fully engaged in their work, while maintaining individual opinions.

"I envision Horn Lake being the hub of North Mississippi when it comes to animal welfare. I want my animal shelter to be the place that people model their strategies after.” This episode is sponsored-in-part by Maddie's Fund and the Rescue Cleaners and Disinfectants. In this episode, host Stacy LeBaron sits down with Glen Andrews, Director of the Horn Lake Animal Shelter in North Mississippi. With over two decades in animal welfare and experience in virtually every shelter role imaginable—from event coordinator to veterinary assistant to director—Glen brings a unique "Renaissance rescuer" perspective to municipal animal services. His journey from Manhattan's urban animal control to rural Mississippi's challenges offers valuable insights into adapting shelter practices across different regional cultures and community needs. Glen shares how he transformed a small, antiquated municipal shelter into a thriving no-kill facility while simultaneously doubling intake numbers. The conversation covers his innovative approaches to community engagement, including low-cost spay/neuter programs, pet food pantries, youth volunteer corps, and strategic community cat management. Glen discusses the importance of removing the enforcement stigma from municipal shelters and positioning them as community resources that help people keep their pets rather than judging pet owners in crisis. Whether you're working in a large urban shelter or a small rural facility, this episode provides actionable strategies for building community trust, implementing sustainable programs with limited resources, and achieving life-saving outcomes. Glen's emphasis on understanding local demographics, strategic partnerships, and the power of microchipping offers a roadmap for municipal shelters looking to modernize their approach and better serve both animals and the people who care about them. Press play now for: How Glen's diverse shelter experience prepared him to lead comprehensive reform at a small municipal facility The cultural differences in pet ownership between urban North and rural South, and how to adapt programming accordingly Strategies for removing the enforcement stigma from municipal shelters and building community trust Details on Horn Lake's innovative programs: low-cost spay/neuter, pet food pantry, and youth volunteer corps Glen's data-driven approach to community cats and achieving 100% more TNR surgeries than neighboring areas How to achieve no-kill status while doubling intake through strategic partnerships and enhanced marketing The game-changing impact of mandatory microchipping and achieving 20% above national average for return-to-owner rates Glen's vision for microchipping every animal in Horn Lake and creating a model for other communities Practical advice for small municipal shelters on accessing grants and proving community need The importance of municipal leadership support and how to work within government structures Resources mentioned: Horn Lake Animal Shelter Facebook page (https://www.facebook.com/HornLakeAnimalShelter/) Horn Lake Animal Shelter website (https://www.hornlake.org/departments/AnimalShelter) Horn Lake Animal Shelter phone: (662) 393-5857 Horn Lake Animal Shelter Petfinder page (https://www.petfinder.com/member/us/ms/horn-lake/friends-of-horn-lake-animal-shelter-ms71/) Maddie's Fund website (https://www.maddiesfund.org/) Maddie's Pet Forum (https://forum.maddiesfund.org/home) Maddie's University education courses (https://university.maddiesfund.org/) Best Friends Animal Society website (https://bestfriends.org/) Community Cats Podcast website (https://www.communitycatspodcast.com/) Maddie's Fund grant programs (https://www.maddiesfund.org/) Sponsor Links: Maddie's Fund (https://www.communitycatspodcast.com/maddies623) Rescue Cleaners and Disinfectants (https://www.communitycatspodcast.com/virox) Follow & Review We'd love for you to follow us if you haven't yet.

AP's Lisa Dwyer reports on a fowl situation.

*Bonus Episode from the Muddy Paws and Hairballs podcastThe no-kill movement promised to revolutionize animal sheltering by saving lives and ending unnecessary euthanasia. But behind the catchy slogans and glowing statistics, a different reality lurks – one that's rarely discussed. In this eye-opening conversation with animal welfare expert Daniel Ettinger, we dig deep into the issues plaguing some shelters striving for that elusive 90% live release rate.As a rescuer myself, I'm experiencing a system overwhelmed by its own ambitions. Shelters don't have a clear understanding of what it means to be no-kill, and communities are not set up to provide all the realities needed to make no-kill work. Instead, shelters are closing their doors when full to avoid euthanasia and maintain high live-release rates, finders are stuck with animals they can't keep, and rescues are buckling under overflow. Even worse, some animals are warehoused for years, leading to questionable quality of life. Daniel shares a more balanced alternative – SMART (Saving More Animals Responsibly Together), an approach that addresses the root causes and focuses on community resources, transparency, and responsible care.We discuss how the relentless pursuit of arbitrary statistics, like the 90% live release rate, has led to dangerous consequences, including the adoption of unsafe animals and public safety issues. We also explore why adopting more pets isn't the solution and how real change starts with accessible veterinary care, housing policy reform, and community education.This episode challenges the black-and-white thinking surrounding animal rescue and offers a fresh perspective on how we can all contribute to more sustainable, humane solutions. Tune in for an honest look at the no-kill movement and discover why we need a smarter approach to animal welfare.Comment on this episode!
