We are asking for #NothingFancyJustFunctional
Our Tri-Cities Animal Shelter and Animal Control is in DESPERATE need of a new shelter and it’s up to us as a community to make sure our Shelter Staff and it’s animals aren’t pushed aside any longer!
Our shelter was built in the 1950’s and is beyond repair. It is just simply unsafe and unhealthy for any human or animal to be in. Ongoing upkeep and repairs of the the current building have not been adequately addressed in the Animal Shelter Budget for years. There is an ongoing pest problem in the building and years of normal wear and dirt have built up over the years leading to the current conditions. The Shelter Staff and Volunteers work hard to make the best of a very difficult situation.
Our City Managers have been promising us a new shelter since 2009 but continue to push aside the need of a functional, safe building for shelter employees and the animals. Years of planning have occurred without meaningful progress on the project. This is unacceptable and we need to step up and be their voice so that this project is given the attention it needs.
#NothingFancyJustFunctional is our plea to the City Managers to get a Safe functional shelter. A shelter that will meet the current and future needs of the Tri-cities for years to come. We will continue to go to the City Council Meetings and email the City Managers until we get our long overdue shelter.
Originally started as a Facebook group this website is to help others understand that these animals need a new place to wait for their forever home.
