No-Kill Shelter Plan Near Belmont Abbey Faces Hurdles
Shelter Morgan proposed a 6.5 acre no-kill facility beside his Belmont Abbey area site, with an upscale for-profit kennel to fund operations. Gaston County approved zoning despite college objections. Morgan later paused due to financing and logistics. Meanwhile, Gaston County Animal Control posted a critical plea as 92 animals faced potential euthanasia amid rising intake and limited adoptions. Reggie Horton praised recent gains in placements but noted ongoing supply challenges and high euthanasia numbers compared with last year. Community groups and clinics advocate spay neuter to curb future growth. Morgan, an employee of Microsoft in Charlotte, says he may pursue grants to support the project. Contact Michael Barrett at 704-869-1826.
