“Our new building will allow us to house up to 45% more cats at one time and the addition of the Enrichment Center will enable us to provide essential enrichment and training activities for our dogs, especially in inclement weather,” said Sarah Swanty, executive director of Animal Friends Alliance and co-chair of the Bringing Paws Together campaign.
The expansion and renovation at the Taft Hill Campus, 2200 N. Taft Hill Rd., will unify shelter and adoption programs.
The project includes a new 3,900 square foot building and renovation of over 4,800 square feet of existing buildings. The Mulberry Campus, 2321 E Mulberry St., will remain in operation.
“This campaign will be a game changer, not just because we’ll be able to help more homeless dogs and cats, but because we’ll have resources to serve more animals and their families across our growing community,” Swanty explained.
Almost $1.5 million of the $2.3 million goal has been raised. Construction on the new shelter building is set for August 2021, with estimated completion in March 2022.
