The city of Jackson apparently has not records of adoptions and euthanizations at the Animal Control Center. JJ submitted a public records request on February 11, 2019:
Records of all animal adoptions at JPD/Animal Control since January 1, 2017.The city pound charges fees for adoptions. However, the city responded on February 25:
Records of all euthanasia of animals performed or conducted at JPD/Animal control since January 1, 2017.
The Office of the City Clerk has submitted your request for fulfillment. To date, we have not received information requested. The Department assigned to fulfill this request has been notified and will request an extension if more time is needed. Please allow additional time for a response to be provided. However, we will notify you upon receipt of any requested information. We apologize for the delay in providing these records to you.The city has yet to provide any of the requested records. Hmm.... so is the city stonewalling? Does Animal Control Officer Paul Perry simply not keep a record of all adoptions or euthanizations? Hmmmm...... If there are no records of adoptions, how do we know how much money was received for adoptions?

Hell, KF. Simple solution here. Go to the new, bright and shinet Data Portal Mayor Yapalot just announced. Surely this information will be available there, among its 43 so called links.
I suspect everyone pays in cash, and animal control is usually fresh out of receipts.
Follow the money - you are onto something.
Not surprising. Nothing is done right in Jackson.
In fact,
The dog pound is where most of city hall belongs until we can give them all that "night, night" shot. Maybe then we can start over.
Local animal rescuers are celebrating the fact that Perry has been fired. Reports that he did, in fact, embezzle adoption dollars, and worse, inhumanely killed animals on weekends.
