New Shelter Capital Campaign: Paws and Claws in the process of raising 3.1 million dollars to build a state of the art shelter in northwest Rochester. The new facility provides a healthier environment for our animals and volunteers; along with better access for the public to view and interact with the companion animals we have available for adoption. The new shelter will have a number of features including on site space for veterinary care and a large community room where we can expand programs like Therapy Dog Training.
