The city of Mineola’s animal shelter has been recognized for its efforts as a no-kill shelter.

Animal control officer Jordana Green received a letter of congratulations recently from the Best Friends Animal Society.

“I want to congratulate Mineola Animal Shelter on achieving a 90% save rate for the 2023 calendar year. You’ve joined an elite group of organizations across the country who are leading the way toward making us a no-kill nation,” said Chief Executive Officer Julie Castle.

A plaque was presented to Green at the recent city council meeting.
