		<description><![CDATA[A Cecil Times Special Report: Second in a Series Cecil County’s animal control contractor—which has a more than $2.2 million contract with the local government—is spending less than it gets from the county to take in and care for animals, according to required financial reports. But the reports also raise questions about where over 200 dogs were cared for after their county-paid holding period ends and their care becomes the responsibility of the contractor. A Buddy for Life, Inc., a Delaware animal rescue group linked to Mindy Carlettii&#8211; a local veterinarian who almost singlehandedly re-wrote the county animal law&#8211; was given a three-year contract by the “Three Amigos” political majority of the former county Board of Commissioners in the last few minutes of its existence last year. The Buddy group has consistently documented costs below the $60,000 a month that taxpayers are giving the group. In addition, the county purchased two pickup trucks and special ‘caps’ for them at taxpayer expense, that are leased to the Buddies for a total of $2 a year. In the first quarter of the year, the Buddies reported a net gain of $24,566 over expenses; in the second quarter, the gain was $5,434; and [&#8230;]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The Cecil County Council voted 4-1 Tuesday 2/19/13 to approve five nominees to an Animal Control oversight panel, despite one member having been cited for violations of animal laws. And a Delaware rescue group that is being paid over $2.2 million by the county to handle animal control is abandoning its animal-less shelter on Appleton Road and moving all its operations to the private Rainwood Kennel in Elkton, county officials announced. Since A Buddy for Life, Inc. began its three-year government contract on 1/1/13, the group has had an office on Appleton Road that lacked proper zoning to house dogs so animals were taken to 11 leased kennels at Rainwood, on Hutton Road, and an equal number at a Chester County, PA private kennel. But an announcement by the county government stated that the Buddy group would be consolidating its operations at Rainwood as of 2/25/13. “This facility will allow A Buddy for Life, Inc. to have all animal control services at one site and will provide the residents of Cecil County one physical location to search for their lost pet, adopt an animal or volunteer,” according to the county government’s statement.
