Coalition gives laptops to Las Cruces Animal Control

The Coalition for Pets and People, which is represented by animal advocate organizations from throughout Doña Ana County, has donated nine laptop computers to the Las Cruces Police Department's Animal Control section. 

The donation of the Dell laptop computers and four air cards will allow Animal Control officers in the field to access local and national databases that have contact information for micro-chipped pets. 

Animal Control officers will be able to scan found pets for a micro-chip and then, with the contact information they obtain, return pets to their rightful owner without having to take the pet to the Animal Service Center. 

The goal of the Coalition for Pets and People is to reduce euthanasia of healthy, adoptable animals.
