“MUST SEE” SHELTERS
Each of these animal shelters is worth visiting. Some are small, some are large. Some are older facilities, some are brand-new. Some are run on a shoestring, some are well funded. Each shelter has something to offer organizations looking to build a shelter. Some have innovative programs, warm and inviting atmospheres, unique kenneling or an outstanding lobby or are immaculately clean. If you are planning to build a shelter — visit, visit, visit. And, take notes, compare and contrast, ask about what they feel are their strengths and weaknesses. Take the time to find out what works best for you and your community.
