New Animal Adoption Center
to Open in Farmers Branch

From the City of Farmers Branch website:
Officially kicking off construction for the new Farmers Branch Animal Adoption Center, a groundbreaking was held in September at the new shelter site at 3727 Valley View Lane. The new state-of-the-art facility is being constructed just east of the Justice Center, near the corner of Valley View and Marsh.

The new Center will have capacity to concurrently house up to 37 dogs and 31 cats, compared to eight dogs and 22 cats at the current shelter. An interior “Get-to-Know” room and an outdoor “Get-to-Know” courtyard will enable prospective pet owners to become acquainted with their future pets on-site, prior to completing the adoption process. The projected grand opening will be held in the Spring of 2009.

Generous donations have been accepted from: Blackson Bricks, NEC Corporation, Stone Solutions, and an anonymous donor of office furniture.
