Linda McNatt - Animal Care & Adoption Center
The expansion project will improve the overall shelter environment and capacity to meet the growing community and animal needs. The shelter is consistently at capacity for animals, resulting in periods where over 100+ animals are on a waiting list for a place at the shelter. By 2030, animal intake is projected to increase by 38%. The expansion will create additional space for animals, improve functionality, increase housing areas, and promote shelter disease prevention. Specific needs included are:
- Expand the Animal Shelter Facility at existing site
- Replace the heating and air conditioning system
- Expand dog adoption and stray dog holding areas
- Add space for dog isolation and quarantine
- Relocate veterinary services
- Renovate animal housing rooms for greater efficiency
- Relocate exercise yards closer to animal housing
Inititation has been completed. Currently in planning and design phase.
Budget: $15 Million
