On April 13, a preliminary needs assessment, feasibility, and cost study for the construction of a new animal shelter in Citrus County was presented by an architect from Bacon Group, Inc.
Citrus County Commissioner Ruthie Schlabach said that addressing the state of the current animal shelter in Citrus has been at the forefront of her campaign.
Schlabach said that a new animal shelter is necessary and wanted by the community.
“So, our shelter in Citrus County it was built in the ’70s. It is over 50 years old. It is outdated in every sense of the word. But the conditions are so poor that for circulation, for safety, it’s just not good for our animals, for our staff, it’s not good for our volunteers.”
