>> i think there would be a lot more suffering. >> if i imagine san francisco without animal care and control, i know there would be thousands of animals every year who just wouldn't get that chance. whether that means going home with a family, being released in the wild without this concerted thoughtful group focused on all these animals. the big picture view

and daily care. so many animals would be lost. >> but i don't think people understand what goes on. they don't know how hard the staff works taking care of animals. >> it is just two people. one upstairs and one downstairs and the cleaning is total, 6, 7ish. one side starts off doing chemical, i close these all off so the dogs can't come in the back, and then i'm going to spray the back, (indiscernible) >> all the magic to rehome and work with a rescue network and all the medical care and behavioral and enrichment, socialization enrichment, volunteers are amazing. so, i think if i had a waish wish, i

wish that san francisco knew more about what we do. >> san francisco animal care and control is a vital part of making sure animals in this community are protected and are cared for. we deal with those domestic and wildlife. one of the primary suction is serve as a shelter. when animals have no where else to go, here is where they come. we take in about 9,000 animals a year and the care they receive here and the ability to move from here if domestic on to permanent homes somewhere else, or if you are wildlife you come here and we figure which wildlife rehubibitator to send to. that is the shelter aspect. we also have animal control officers who are available from 6 a.m.

to midnight. >> ask them to give us a call, that would be great. the number is 415-554-9400, and you can just ask for rebecca. thank you so much. bye. >> we receive approximately 20 thousand calls a year for assistance, so a lot is wildlife rescue, lost dogs, dangerous situations. we also investigate animal abuse, animal neglect. got a lot going on here. >> without us, there would be a lot more (indiscernible) a lot more animals suffering. who would people call? the police? fire? they have their own jobs and don't have resources or knowledge. they don't know how to help animals. so much hoar suffering. >> we took in 2800 animals last

year. without a shelter where do the animals go? i think the community would suffer if we were not here. >> whether living on the street or (indiscernible) animals are very important to people, so we are helping humans also, and we are alleviating a lot of suffering by doing our jobs. loca >> (music). >> the work go ahead offered i

didn't the rec and park friday's local young people between 14 and 17 to be part 6 the workforce and eastern responsibility and professionalism and gain job skills and assignments in neighborhoods parking and recreation centers and includes art and crafts, sport, cooking, gardening and facility support and so many more. >> (multiple voices). >> i think we're part of the this is the fact we're outdoors and it is really great to be in nature and workreation is great first step to figure out what you would like to do workreation
