The existing arrangements for animal control and protection services are inadequate and insufficient in the cities of Hoboken and Union City. Deficient oversight has resulted in neglect, abuse and incompetence. The present predicament poses a danger to public health and safety, as well as diminishes the quality of life in these communities.
• Stray and surrendered animals are currently transported to an Essex County facility with little chance of rehabilitation or adoption;
• Residents are given minimal guidance in handling animal-control situations;
• Residents and their pets risk attacks, spread of disease and destruction of property posed by poor animal control;
• Illegal activities involving animals thrive in the absence of enforcement and education;
• Resources and focus are diverted from the police and other city agents from their core functions, as well as those of local businesses related to animal care.

It is proposed that Hoboken and Union City residents deserve quality animal-control services, access to a qualified facility and a comprehensive protocol that would provide efficient and humane solutions to these problems. The cities’ governments should aggressively pursue contracts with eligible providers that could do this.
