On April 20, the Kendall County Sheriff’s Office Foundation delivered a mobile lift exam table to the staff at the Kendall County Animal Shelter. The donation of the mobile lift table enhances both the safety of the animals the staff care for and improves the health and safety of the staff members who load and move large animals around on the table. The table will accommodate animals weighing as much as 225 pounds.
Kendall County Animal Control Officer (ACO) Charity Barnes commented, “We are so excited to receive the delivery of the mobile lift exam table and cannot wait to put it to use.” The table allows the staff to lower the table to floor level, so that they can safely place an animal on the table and then raise the table to accommodate both the animal’s size and the comfort and safety of the staff member performing the exam. ACO Barnes went on to say, “the lift table will be a great tool to help reduce the stress placed on the animal, as they are being moved from the table to the scale.”
According to ACO Barnes, with the donation of the table, “The Foundation is truly helping to save lives and make the lives of shelter pets less stressful and more comfortable.”
