Terri Arbuckle began her career with the Lodi Animal Shelter on September 29, 1997 as an Assistant Animal Services Officer. She was promoted to Animal Services Officer on February 22, 1999 and the position was reclassified to Animal Services Supervisor in December of 2002. Under Terri's supervision the Lodi Animal Shelter has truly become "community friendly," offering a welcoming environment for animal care and adoption. Over the years Terri has groomed shelter staff and numerous volunteers to work together with local veterinarians and special interest groups to provide the Lodi community with optimum services and assistance. When confronted with overcrowded conditions, she played an integral part in obtaining temporary quarters for shelter staff so the main shelter could be expanded for animals. She has made great strides in educating the public about spay and neuter programs as well as promoting animal adoptions. FUNDING: None cc: City Attorney Jerry J.
