NEWS RELEASE

Seminole County Animal Shelter Like New After Devastating Fire
Posted on: 8/12/2009
Sanford, Fla., August 12, 2009-The dog days of summer have proven to be a great time for the Seminole County Animal Shelter. On Thursday, August 13 from 1-3 p.m., staff will celebrate the completion of renovations with an open house. The shelter, located at 232 Bush Loop in Sanford, was severely damaged after a two-alarm fire in February 2007. Investigators ruled the cause of that fire to be electrical, and damage was estimated at more than $1 million. Several portions of the facility had to be rebuilt, including: the sally port (drive thru garage area), laundry room, vet tech clinic, small dog and stray cat holding areas, an office, bathroom and storeroom.
For more information on the shelter, animals available for adoption or volunteer opportunities, call (407) 665-5201 or visit the Animal Services Web page found on the County’s Web site: www.seminolecountyfl.gov. /> ###
