Shelter Closure Delayed as Flood Threat Decreases
BY: Kent Reporter 11/12/2009
The Seattle Humane Society has offered to provide animal sheltering and adoption services for all stray, orphaned, and abandoned animals when King County Animal Care and Control shuts down on Nov. 1, 2009 for potential flood issues. King County Animal Care and Control has already stopped taking animals into its Kent shelter in preparation for possible flooding from the Green River, yet, Humane Society officials assert, KCACC is continuing to take in revenue from 32 cities that contract with it for animal sheltering and control services. The need for another shelter to provide the community with animal sheltering services is urgent.
