		<description><![CDATA[Cecil County’s newly-purchased animal shelter welcomed its first four-legged residents on Friday, with well-wishers dropping off treats and toys even as renovation work continued, including reducing the number of dog kennels available to house strays and limiting the size of a formerly open room for cats to interact with visitors. Milo, a Shepherd mix with personality plus, poised his nose against the mesh of his kennel to nuzzle against a visitor’s hand and later enjoyed a walk outdoors with some potential adopters visiting the shelter. (PHOTO: Milo hangs out with new shelter director Abigail Bingham) The county purchased the animal shelter formerly owned and operated for many years by the Cecil County Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, Inc. (CCSPCA) on Route 213 in Chesapeake City, south of the C&#038;D Canal bridge. For the past 3 ½ years, the county paid a private “rescue” group, A Buddy for Life, Inc., a total of over $2.5 million to operate animal control services at a rented kennel in Elkton. The county purchased the CCSPCA facility for $395,000 several month ago and obtained County Council approval to spend another $100,000 for renovations and equipment purchases for what will now be a [&#8230;]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Cecil County Executive Tari Moore has selected Abigail Lightning Bingham as the Director of Animal Services that will operate the county’s recently purchased animal shelter as part of Moore’s plan to handle animal care and control with government employees, instead of non-profit humane organization contractors as in the past. Moore praised her choice as having a “wealth of knowledge and experience [that] will make her a key player in the development of our Animal Care and Control Division, and we are excited for this opportunity to positively influence policy and outcomes for Cecil County’s pet population. We recognize the important role animal care and safety plays in the lives of Cecil’s citizens, and look forward to providing transparency, accountability, and positive prevention and intervention programs in new and creative ways.” Moore is in the last seven months of her term as County Executive. Bingham will begin her new job here on May 9 and the government-operated animal care and control operations begin on July 1. Last week, the county closed on the sale of the former Cecil County Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, Inc. shelter in Chesapeake City. The county paid just $395,000 for the 12-acre property [&#8230;]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[A CECIL TIMES SPECIAL REPORT The animal shelter operated by A Buddy for Life, Inc. under contract with the Cecil County government has had at least three cases of a highly contagious and potentially deadly virus—resulting in two deaths—but kept it a secret from county officials and citizens who continued to visit the Elkton facility and could have carried the virus home to their own pets. And in an unrelated matter, the Buddies cut back their hours of operation for the public from 39 hours to just 24 hours a week and the shelter is closed entirely on Mondays, as of this week, because the County Council refused to give the Buddies an extra $11,600 above their current $300,000 six months extension of a former $2.24 million three year contract. The county administration approved the service cutbacks of 15 hours per week, even though the Buddies had not officially signed their latest contract with the county that expires on 6/30/201, according to documents obtained by CECIL TIMES. And that level of significant service cutbacks does not appear to correlate to the relatively small requested but denied additional amount of county subsidy. A “third party” informed county officials of the outbreak [&#8230;]]]></description>
