We want to let you know that we are in the throes of finalizing plans and hiring contractors for the renovation of our new space on Mitchell Street. Our goal is to create a state-of-the-art animal welfare facility where all of our programs can thrive and better serve the animals and animal lovers of Oswego County. This whole process is harder and more time-consuming than you might think. We have to figure out how every door opens and from what direction, the proper slope for drainage for every animal space, what materials need which cleaning methods; all of these and other details are seemingly minor but important to keep animals and people safe and to increase public accessibility to every program.

What this means is that, for at least part of the upcoming year, our building will be unusable for our programs and staff to use. We will make do as best we can, working from home and in whatever temporary space we can find, but in the meantime, we are projecting that our revenue from adoptions and the spay/neuter clinic will be drastically reduced. We have to ask for your trust and patience and continued support throughout this upcoming year. We are so looking forward to celebrating our newly transformed home with you!
