Animal Shelter Update!
Wayne County officially broke ground on its Animal Adoption and Education Center at 1600 Clingman Street on Tuesday, Oct. 2, 2007. Remarks were made by Jean Hollowell and Barrett Parker, representatives from the Wayne County Humane Society. Four dogs officially “broke ground” by “digging the foundation” at the new site. The new facility will replace the 50-year-old building currently being used on Brick Street. To view a slideshow of the progress of our new animal shelter, click here.
