The Leslie County Animal Shelter hosted an open house after being closed for nearly four months.

The shelter’s coordinator, Katherine Woods, said all of the renovations went smoothly and they are excited for the new changes.

The community was heavily involved with the new projects. Workers from the jail constructed a building around several dog pens. The building now has central heating and air.

A new area for cats was also finished. The new pens allow the cats more room to roam and interact with each other.

While the shelter is technically open, they are not accepting pick ups and drop offs until March 16th.
