The existing building is much too small to meet the city’s needs. Its electrical system is outdated and dangerous. The roof leaks, and part of the ceiling is falling. The concrete block building has no insulation and is uncomfortable for the dogs and humans who care for them.
The new facility will be 5,000 square feet, more than doubling the space of the current one. It will feature improved laundry, bathing, grooming, restrooms, medical isolation and treatment rooms, and a space where folks interested in adoption can get to know their new friends.
