Hamilton County on the prowl for site to build new animal shelter

“This facility is not built to take in 8,000 animals per year,” said Ray Anderson, spokesman for the nonprofit humane society that took over the county’s dog warden and shelter programs in 2020. “This was built to house dogs for three days in the 1960s. You could put four dogs in a kennel together and then after their three days they get euthanized. So, that’s not what we do here.”
