Lower Greenville Neighborhood Association

January’s Lower Greenville Neighborhood Association meeting featured Marcialyn Banks, Educational Training Coordinator from the city’s Animal Services department.

Individual stray animal reports are given lower priority because by the time an investigator responds to the call, the animal is usually gone from the reported site.
