Council OKs Young-Williams Contracts

The city joined Knox County in arranging for the nonprofit animal center to begin enforcement duties countywide on April 1.

Taking (Animal) Control

Under a new contract, Young-Williams Animal Center — rather than law enforcement — would respond to calls about dogs, cats and more.

Knoxville pet owners will have to stay outside with their dogs if using a tether to keep them under control.

Every Monday, we run down the week’s public meeting and civic events.

A summer surge in demand for shelter has left Young-Williams Animal Center operating on “emergency only” status often in recent months.

City Council is moving toward changing the way the city manages feral and community cats throughout Knoxville.
