County considers shelter expansion and new adoption area
SPCA officials urge a 50 unit shelter increase and larger cat adoption space to raise daily adoptions and cut euthanasia. Animal control reports 500 to 600 animals enter monthly, with five day minimum hold before potential euthanization. County plans include 250000 in new funds and possible use of SPCA land off Willow Run Road or Wire Road expansion for intake, kennels, and public visibility.
