BEMIDJI Beginning the second week of January, Great River Rescue will be remodeling one of the shelter’s dog kennel rooms. The remodel is meant to provide more usable space at the shelter to enhance the experience for adopters, and the shelter animals.
According to a release from Executive Director Brandon Mustful, the shelter’s large dog kennel room will be divided up to create a new animal introduction room and intake exam room. The introduction room will be given a home-like atmosphere to allow potential adopters to meet with animals in a warm, cozy, home-style setting.
