To better serve animals in the community, like the two kittens who came to Capital Humane Society after being placed in a suitcase and abandoned in a ditch, the organization has been fundraising and working with BVH Architecture to come up with a plan to renovate the Admissions and Assessment Center which has aged beyond its ability to best serve pets and their people.
Executive Director Shannon Roebuck says because of generous support from the community the construction team is on site and ready to start Phase One of the renovation to address the failing HVAC systems, crumbling entrance, unwelcoming reception area and loud hallways. The facility will remain open and continue to serve the community throughout the two-year, three phase project.
To ensure phases two and three can also become a reality, Roebuck says additional community support is needed. She says the additional funds needed to help renovate the Admissions and Assessment Center into a modern, welcoming animal welfare facility.
“Whether lost pets are reuniting with their families or surrendered pets are receiving care from veterinary staff to find new homes through the adoption program, their journey home starts here, at the Admissions and Assessment Center on Park Blvd,” Roebuck says.
