The Need for a New Facility

The current animal shelter and adoption center, built in the early 1950's as a vehicle maintenance gararge, was not designed to be an animal facility. It is simply inadequate for this purpose. Without any structural design to support the needs of animal care, it is an extremely stressful environment for animals and people alike. It is dramatically insufficient in its capacity to:

• house animals humanely;
• ensure sanitary conditions;
• control the spread of diseases; and
• provide a low-stress environment for optimal animal health and welfare.

Other issues related to conditions at the current Center include:

• inadequate public space to conduct business and adoptions;
• inadequate office space for staff; we currently operate out of 3 separate and distant locations
• dangerously exposed electrical lights and wiring;
• a badly leaking roof; broken and exposed concrete; and
• termite damage that is so severe that some doors are not functional.

But there is hope! We've found a SOLUTION.
