A grand opening and ribbon cutting at the Greene County Animal Shelter and Rotary Centennial Dog Park will be held this Sunday, Sept. 24, at 2 pm at the shelter, 1700 Doreen Wilber Drive, Jefferson. Light refreshments will be served.
The animal shelter has been in use for several months, while the dog park is very recently completed.
The ribbon cutting marks the culmination of seven years of fundraising led by Don Orris and the People for Animal Welfare Society (PAWS). The shelter and dog park are owned by the city of Jefferson. The Rotary Club of Jefferson secured naming rights for the dog park with a significant donation to the project to celebrate the club’s centennial in 2022.
