“Amanda’s experience and leadership will be a great asset to San Angelo,” City Manager Daniel Valenzuela said. “She brings the skills and passion needed to strengthen our animal services and support our community.”

As animal services manager, Weddle will oversee daily operations, including animal control, shelter management, community outreach and enforcement of local laws and regulations.

“After living in the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex for 20 years, my family and I decided we wanted to return to a quieter area,” Weddle said. “I came to San Angelo because I saw how much the staff cares about the community and its pets. I wanted to be part of that growth and progress. My goal is to support the city’s animal community through public safety, community engagement, responsible pet ownership and reducing pet overpopulation.”
