The Current Building
The Current facility located at 1312 S 18th Ave, Pasco was originally built in the 1950's with additional structures added in the 1970's and has served the community well since then. However, the cost of bringing the current facility to current shelter standards is cost prohibitive. Years of use have brought drainage issues, difficulties with properly cleaning the space and a collapsed roof. Updated standards since the facility was built require far more air circulation than is available in the current structure. The walls do not dampen sound and the kennels can be mind numbingly loud.
