For those of you watching progress or lack thereof on the new government shelter, here’s the latest – The bids came in too high so we’ve taken two steps back. Time to reassess the plans, the money options or whatever else needed to get this project going.<br /><br />Unfortunately, after the new office building was completed the old kennels were demolished, reducing shelter capacity by about 40%. Meanwhile the staff struggles with 300+ animals a month coming through and trying to squeeze all those into 20 two-sided kennels. Let’s hope government officials address this soon. It’s important to remember these aren’t old filing cabinets being stored until the new building is complete – it means animals are dying because there’s no room at the inn. Big difference.
