A Clear Vision

The concept of the New Dearborn County Animal Shelter represents years of planning and research. Members of the New Shelter Committee have spoken with several shelter designers and visited a variety of facilities all across a 5-state area. Two of the committee members even visited Best Friends Animal Sanctuary in Kanab, Utah, the largest sanctuary for companion animals in the country. The committee met repeatedly to synthesize the best ideas from across the country. The result is a traditional facility incorporating non-traditional solutions.

Through the hard work of Darrell Sears, the architect who volunteered his time and expertise for this project, the plans for the new shelter are complete. Darrell is knowledgeable in both form ad function and his innovative design will serve us well for years to come.

The New shelter will greatly enhance out ability to rehabilitate and place animals quickly. In addition to more than doubling the number of dogs and cats we can accommodate, the new facility will enable us to increase adoptions by providing a healthier environment and spaces where animals and people can get to know each other well.

We’re On Our Way

We are already over three quarters of the way to achieving our goal. In recognition of the importance of this project, the City of Lawrenceburg has donated $800,000 toward the new shelter.

The two main reasons to build a new shelter are space and infrastructure.
