    Supporting lower-income seniors in their efforts to address their companions health issues is a worthwhile use of Village funds. Many seniors rely on these animals for emotional support and companionship. The county provides ONLY preventive services such as vaccinations and spay/neuter, and many seniors cannot afford this critical care.
