Animal control officer honored for work he started while in prison

This Germantown native helps Philly dogs get adopted and takes strays off the streets

Animal control officer Steven Morales’ schedule changes constantly.

Though it can get hectic at times, the work he does can be rewarding and something he wants to continue to do.
