Animal Allies donates over $21600 to Superior for new animal shelter construction

During the recent Common Council Meeting in Superior, Wisconsin, a significant development was announced regarding the establishment of a new animal shelter. Animal Allies, in collaboration with the city of Superior, the Animal Rescue Federation, and the Humane Society of Douglas County, has been working towards creating a new facility that will serve not only Superior but all of Douglas County.

The meeting highlighted the successful fundraising efforts led by Animal Allies, which were aimed at covering the construction costs of the new adoption center located at Bear Creek Park. Despite facing challenges that led to their withdrawal from operational responsibilities, Animal Allies managed to raise a substantial amount of money as part of their original agreement. This financial support is crucial for easing the transition from the old shelters to the new facility.

While some contributors opted to withdraw their donations following Animal Allies' departure, many chose to remain committed to the project. Their continued support reflects a shared vision for animal rescue and adoption in the community. The meeting culminated in a notable moment when Animal Allies presented a check for $21,622.82 to the city, underscoring the community's dedication to this initiative.

The discussions at the meeting not only emphasized the importance of the new shelter but also highlighted the collaborative spirit among local organizations and residents. As the project moves forward, the commitment from both Animal Allies and the community signals a hopeful future for animal welfare in the region. The council's acknowledgment of these efforts sets the stage for continued progress in establishing a vital resource for animal rescue and adoption in Superior.
