The Humane Society of Pinellas broke ground on a pet adoption center in Clearwater, reports the Tampa Bay Times.
The $4-million, adoption center will more than double the organization’s capacity to rescue and treat animals. The project involves replacing the ramshackle complex at 3040 State Road 590.
The Sjouwerman Adoption Center, located just west of McMullen Booth Rd., will have 14,000 sq. ft. to house 76 cats, 102 dogs and about a dozen small animals like rabbits and guinea pigs.
The three-story structure will be climate controlled, replacing the partially open-air facility that dates to 1949.
