Bald Knob officials are looking to build a quarantine area at the cityâs animal shelter, with the City Council approving a motion earlier this week for the city to take bids for the building.
Bald Knob Police Chief Larry House told the council that the shelter is in need of a 16-by-24-foot space, with a bathroom and three runs, to quarantine animals. Councilman David Smith reminded House that it also would need a bathing area.
âWe got a bid on it now from Double J Construction to build it for $22,000,â Smith said.
House said there is a drawing of it and he mentioned that according to state law, âyou have to quarantine every dog that goes in there for 10 days.â
