    Todd Flynn says this helps pets involved in a domestic dispute situation and it’s for a temporary time until the situation is resolved.

    Corner Brook Municipal Enforcement received ten calls for assistance under animal control last month. Five of those were for assistance with cats or dogs and two were concerns about roaming animals. However, one of the calls was for a cat under the city’s Pet Safekeeping Program. The city’s Director of Protective Services Todd Flynn says this helps pets involved in a domestic dispute situation and it’s for a temporary time until the situation is resolved. The discussion took place during Monday night’s public council meeting.
