BACKGROUND

An anonymous donor is donating $60,000 to assist Gaston County Animal Care and Enforcement in the purchasing of an X-ray machine and associated equipment.  The X-ray machine will be part of the approved surgical suite which will greatly improve the quality of care for shelter animals while creating a significant cost savings to the citizens of Gaston County.  The in-house veterinarian will be much better equipped to conduct minor surgeries, drastically reducing the need for outsourcing, while also making the animals more marketable for adoption and rescue.
