The team at the Quinte Humane Society is trying to speed up the process to build their new shelter.
Marilyn Lawrie, the new CEO, and Donna Endicott, the chair of the QHS board, told Quinte West councillors during their meeting Monday, that their current building on Avonlough Road in Belleville is falling apart.
“We are literally one flush away from having to evacuate this current building. We’ve just simply run out of time and for the sake of the animals, the staff, the visitors, we really, desperately need a new home,” said Endicott.
Quinte Humane Society noted that the Ontario SPCA has deemed it the worst shelter in the province.
