Jail Gets New Animal Shelter | Albany News

Albany County Jail is about to get a whole lot furrier—with a brand-new, state-of-the-art animal shelter set to open in just two weeks, housing sixteen dogs and offering outdoor space. Designed to ease the burden on the overcrowded Mohawk Hudson Humane Society, the facility also aims to boost inmate rehabilitation through animal care programs. Sheriff Craig Apple and humane society investigator Andrew Fiumano see this as a pioneering model for combining animal welfare with correctional reform, potentially inspiring similar projects statewide. Ribbon-cutting is imminent—prepare for a new kind of jail activity. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
