The Giles County Animal Shelter has received a significant boost in its efforts to construct a new facility, thanks to a generous donation from Cathy Bissell and the BISSELL Pet Foundation. This contribution, amounting to $300,000, represents the largest single gift in the shelter’s history and is a crucial step forward in realizing a long-anticipated project.
Shelter officials expressed their enthusiasm about the new building, which is designed to enhance the experience for animals, staff, volunteers, and the local community. While this substantial donation provides a solid foundation for the project, they emphasized that further community involvement and fundraising efforts will be essential to see the construction through to completion.
In addition to the financial support, the shelter extended its gratitude to Butcher Drafting for their generous donation of the architectural blueprints for the new facility. As plans progress, the shelter is committed to keeping the community informed with updates on the project’s development.
