You may remember that back in 2016 we had a flood. And it was a doozy. Much of our veterinary hospital was destroyed and we found ourselves faced with the critical need to rebuild and renovate.

As we took a look at renovating a portion of our facility, we also recognized that the entire building was outdated and no longer met our needs and the needs of our animals. That’s when we embarked on a $3 million project to transform our facility into a state-of-the-art shelter that provides a more enriching and healthier environment for the animals in our care and better serves the nearly 30,000 people who visit us each year.
