DeWitt County Animal Control to Showcase New Facility Saturday

Come out Saturday and check out the newest addition to the DeWitt County fleet of buildings.

 

Animal control is excited to display to the public for the first time their new facility that will double the size of their current location. Cris Rogers heads the Public Safety committee on the DeWitt County Board and says the new facility is state of the art.

 

 

The cost for the shelter is going to run right around $300-thousand and Rogers indicates there have been both public and private dollars to help pay for what is inside.

 

 

A challenge animal control faces often is people dropping off animals when no one is at the shelter. Rogers explains at the very front entrance, there will be a spot for anyone in a dire scenario to be able to do so in a humane manner.

 

 

Rogers says he is most proud of the fact they finally have a building up to call home that will be very functional. He feels taxpayers should feel very proud of the facility that they have.

 

There will be an open house for the public to come and attend Saturday from 11 am to 2 pm. The new facility is off Weldon Springs Road at the former Black's Heating and Cooling facility next to the new EMS location off Route 10.
