The shelter can’t even be renovated for that amount. What we have barely functions as a shelter and wasn’t even built for that. It’s really not that much money for a core city service that isn’t being met. It’s similar to the price of ONE senior wellness center. Not trying to be argumentative.

I also don't understand your comment on the number of people this impacts. The animal shelter is, as stated above, a core city service that impacts every neighborhood in the city, Nichols Hills, Del City, and Valley Brook. It affects all of the animals in our city.

I respect if you have another opinion.

It would be helpful to watch the video to get a sense of this history here and the unmet need.
