Temporary Animal Shelter Closed for Zoning Violation
ABILENE, TX – The freezing temperatures prompted animal advocates to set up a temporary animal shelter at the Taylor County Expo Center in Abilene. But according to city officials, the advocates are running an illegal kennel.
According to Michelle Leinneweber, the Expo Center loaned them the building to house animals and keep them out of the inclement weather.
In a Facebook post, Leinneweber encouraged people to bring in domestic pets that do not have access to an indoor shelter.
But according to City Manager Robert Hanna, the makeshift shelter is a zoning violation and is considered an illegal kennel.
