The Wallaceburg Animal Control Shelter recently underwent significant upgrading thanks to the generosity of a long time animal lover and member of a prominent Wallaceburg family.
Municipal officials say the late Jean Shirley Carscallen bequeathed $81,046.33 to the Wallaceburg animal shelter, which was used for numerous improvements.
The Arnold Street facility has received interior renovations for two new quarantine kennels, a dog wash, fencing of a new outdoor area and mechanical work, which included a much needed HVAC system and air conditioning.
Animal Control Services also received enough donations from the public to cement a large outdoor area where the new fencing was added.
