The process of finding new management for the Wichita Animal Shelter is underway. On Monday, the City of Wichita hosted an informational session for people interested in taking on the role. The Wichita Police Department has been managing the shelter, but the City wants this to change so police can focus on picking up strays, sick and injured animals, and dead animals. Police would still handle animal bites, animal cruelty, and neglect investigations. The City hopes the new operator improves communication with rescue partners to find homes for abandoned pets and provide vet care. The Kansas Humane Society, which has been a partner with the Wichita Animal Shelter since they moved next door in 2009, was part of the discussion.
