This is a state of the art facility that has taken into consideration all aspects of animal sheltering. The engineer did a fabulous job considering the financial constraints for which to work in. I applaud the city and council for making an animal shelter a priority for the community and the animals of the community. Paws and Claws, supporters and public officials you should be very proud of this accomplishment. Congratulations!
