Relief efforts grow for dogs at cold town pound
Myles Clegg and Connie Howard of Providence and Bristol push for quick shelter for dogs as state health officials call the current pound one of the worst. They explore an emergency site and AID kennels in East Providence, while police and safety chiefs cite cost as a barrier. Howard aims to raise up to 20,000 for a new pound, delaying until a county option is debated at a tri town meeting.
