New Animal Shelter Construction Fund
On February 1, 2003, Arlington voters approved the sale of bonds in
the amount of $2,665,000 for the purpose of animal shelter
improvements. The City Council has approved the construction of a new
Animal Services Center to be located adjacent to the new Southeast
Library Branch at 900 S.E. Green Oaks Blvd.
A new facility will allow for onsite spaying and neutering, offer
family adoption rooms, educational facilities, increase the health and
well-being of the animals, improve community awareness and promote the
adoption of approximately 11,000 animals placed in our care each year.
New construction would cost approximately $578,000 over the bonded
authority. Specific cost-saving and revenue-enhancing measures have
been identified, leaving an estimated funding gap of approximately
$300,000.
If you are interested in making a donation to meet the anticipated
$300,000 funding gap, please complete the
donation form and forward along with your donation. The form is
available in PDF format, requiring the Adobe Acrobat Reader.
