About Tri-County’s Capital Campaign
Tri-County Animal Rescue, a non-profit 100% no kill shelter for dogs and cats throughout the region, has embarked on a building program totaling 64,000 square feet. The build out will enable Tri-County to expand its services and accommodate the need for additional space for the increase the shelter has seen in the need to rescue, rehabilitate, and re-home dogs and cats to caring families.
The $10 million multi-phase capital campaign and build out began with a 9,000 square foot rescue clinic (a ($4.9) million capital campaign), which is currently under construction and scheduled to open in Spring 2019. Phase two is an 11,435 square foot adoption and residential facility, a “Hos-Pets” center and Mausoleum ($5.1 million capital campaign). The phase building will serve as an adoption and community program hub allowing temporary residents for 200+ dogs and 200+ cats. This building will also include “cage-free” areas for age and size appropriate dogs.
Once complete, the new state of the art 64,000 square foot campus will feature a canine adoption center, a feline adoption center, long-term housing, veterinary surgical center and care and isolation areas for rescues and “Hos-Pets” for animals with special needs and extended care. Much of the new facility will be available to the public including a mausoleum with serenity garden, increased in-ground burial plots, agility course, in-ground pool, and boarding and grooming, as well as public spaces for education and community animal welfare training programs.
