VALLEY VIEW, Ohio — The Cuyahoga County Animal Shelter celebrated a new chapter on Friday as they kicked off their expansion project.
County leadership, volunteers and a few of the shelter's furry friends attended the groundbreaking ceremony for the $2.7 million expansion.
Officials say that the expansion will allow the shelter to "enhance its services and programming while providing a safe and loving environment for animals."
Additionally, the expansion will allow for space for training and meetings, a façade with a backlit building sign, new fencing and gates and new artificial turf for outdoor dog play areas.
Among those in attendance at the event were Cuyahoga County Executive Chris Ronayne, Cuyahoga County Councilwoman Sunny Simon and Cuyahoga County Animal Shelter Administrator Mindy Naticchioni.
