Cochise County Steps Toward New Animal Shelter

Cochise County is finally moving forward with a long-awaited new animal shelter after years of delays since the last one burned down in 2018. The Board of Supervisors voted to begin negotiations for purchasing a building in Huachuca City, aiming to end the county’s costly practice of paying over $100,000 annually to house animals elsewhere. Driven by strong public demand, this central facility will unite efforts to better care for animals and improve community coordination. The Sheriff’s Office will manage operations, but success hinges on community support — including fundraising and volunteer efforts — with advocates already forming a nonprofit to help. While progress is exciting, much work remains before the shelter opens in the coming years. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
