City Council Approves Construction Contract

We’re excited to share that yesterday City Council approved the Construction Manager at Risk contract with Steele & Freeman Inc. for a $17.5 million project.

The first phase of the project includes a 9,000‑square‑foot expansion of our facility, featuring:

• A new lobby
• Dedicated areas for cat adoption, isolation, and quarantine
• A specialized space for exotic animals
• An expanded dog adoption area with indoor and outdoor runs
• Five new play yards
• A separate entrance for surrenders and reclaims

Construction will begin immediately and will not impact operations at this time.
The new addition is estimated for completion May of 2027.
