Pets and people might benefit from new digs

Pets and people might benefit from new digs

An expansion at the city animal shelter, being dedicated today, should make it easier for frantic pet owners to reunite with lost dogs and cats. Instead of going to different facilities, all lost or stray animals picked up in Richland County now will be taken to the city shelter, off Shop Road and I-77. Animal lovers hope the expansion will provide a stage for finding good homes for more unwanted animals, too. The long-sought collaboration between the city and county will bring an improvement in service, leaders say.
