In 2019, the City convened a Strategic Planning Task Force comprised of Mesquite citizens, representatives from MAS rescue partners and Animal Services staff and leadership, and tasked this group with writing a new 5-Year Strategic Plan for Mesquite Animal Services. The 2019 MAS Task Force worked for several months and completed the selection of five (5) Strategic Goals and twenty-two (22) objectives as the core content for the 2020-2025 (5-Year) MAS Strategic Plan. From the outset, discussions were focused on creating and improving programs that would enhance five main areas:
- Community Outreach
- Field Responsiveness and Enforcement
- Intake Management
- Facility and Staff Needs
- Live Release
