Dog owners in Marana and surrounding areas have something to look forward to as Sol Dog Lodge and Training Center, a local nonprofit, is preparing to open its largest facility yet.The new campus, currently under construction, will feature eight buildings and encompass 8,600 square feet, quadrupling the organization’s current operating capacity. Once completed, the facility can board up to 75 dogs per night and provide training services to more than 100 dogs and families daily.
But soon, that love, pain and agony will give way to the consolidated campus that will enhance the nonprofit's ability to serve the community.Shelley Harris, Director of Outreach, emphasized the impact this new facility will have on their mission to keep families and their pets together, reducing the burden on overcrowded animal shelters. 'To have to return a dog to a shelter or rescue is just a gut-wrenching experience,' Harris said.
