Commissioners Break Ground on

New Dog Shelter and Adoption Center

Commissioners Paula Brooks, Marilyn Brown and John O'Grady

On October 5th, Franklin County Commissioners broke ground at the site of the new Franklin County Animal Care and Control Dog Shelter and Adoption Center.  The $18 million facility has potential to temporarily house over 420 dogs while awaiting adoption.  The Dog Shelter and Adoption Center will be located at 4340 Tamarack Boulevard, in the former Northland Mall plaza on Morse Rd.

The design of the new Dog Shelter and Adoption Center addresses interconnected objectives of the Animal Shelter and Animal Control and highlights enhanced customer service, expanded clinical operations and educational outreach. The open design and space allocation will address current and future concerns such as reducing pet overpopulation through education and licensing, increasing adoptions by encouraging visitations from the community and real life rooms will encourage interactivity with dogs as areas for behavior testing.
