Animal-shelter renovation progress and fundraising night announced
Summary
Officials said insulation and ceiling work at the county shelter is nearing completion, lights will be installed this week, volunteers are being recruited, and a Texas Roadhouse fundraiser is scheduled for Dec. 17 (3–8 p.m.) with 10% of proceeds to benefit the shelter.
Shelter staff updated the board that ceiling insulation is in place and the space is warming; lights are expected to be installed this week which will allow volunteers to resume more activities. Staff and commissioners said the shelter is seeing progress: one long-term dog was adopted and volunteers helped ferry the animal to its new home out of state.
Commissioners said they would continue outreach for a nonprofit partner to operate a satellite shelter after an initial nonprofit declined. The board also publicized a fundraiser at Texas Roadhouse on Wednesday, Dec. 17 (3–8 p.m.), during which 10% of participating sales will be donated to the shelter.
Board members encouraged volunteer recruitment and asked staff to continue reporting construction and volunteer milestones to the board.
