Senator Regola presents $25k to shelter

State funding to assist Action for Animals shelter

 

Today (February 16) went to the dogs (and cats) for Senator Bob Regola, as he presented a $25,000 grant to Action for Animals to use toward building a new animal shelter.

“Action for Animals plans to use the money toward its new facility - something that, unfortunately, is necessary,” Senator Regola said. “In the best of all worlds, we wouldn’t need this shelter. However, for the stray and abandoned animals that it saves and for those that are adopted by loving owners, Action For Animals is a godsend. It truly deserves our support.”

The organization recently purchased 3.6 acres including concrete pathways and two block buildings. The property also has more than an acre of wooded area that will be ideal for walking/exercising pets. The agency will be able to offer separate dog and cat wings, maintain a low cost spay/neuter outreach clinic and offer other onsite activities such as obedience classes.

“This is a great new site for Action for Animals,” Senator Regola said. “They have access to public water and sewage and ample parking. Since they are in a more accessible location, they are hoping for a major increase in adoptions, which will allow them to care for a larger number of animals each year.”
