The Grand County Animal Shelter is facing a deadline to relocate from its current building. While the group has raised funds for a new location, they still need $1 million to complete construction. Animal control officer Mary Ann Kerstiens and volunteer Diana Farabaugh are leading the effort, emphasizing the importance of providing a safe haven for abandoned animals.
The clock is ticking for the Grand County Animal Shelter. We first told you last year about the need for a new space to take in the area's stray animals. The county sanitation department owns the building the animal shelter currently occupies, and sanitation finally needs the space after 25 years of lending it out. Through donations, Grand County Pet Pals was able to raise enough money to purchase the land for a new shelter.
So, we’ll have the front of the building here and then our parking lot will be right here,” Farabaugh said as she walked us around the property in Granby.The land sits right next to Kaibab Park and also sits at the gateway of Granby from the southeast, just a few blocks from downtown.Kerstiens and Farbaugh understand that there are lot of need in the community and people all looking for financial support, but they hope you'll consider giving to the furry friends they're trying to help.
