More than 100 guests joined Caldwell County Commissioners to open the new Caldwell County Animal Care Enforcement Facility on Saturday. Local leaders and guests were excited to tour the new 12,000-foot facility, and see the 46 dog kennels, 75 cat kennels, 4 cat community rooms, 2 dog acquaintance rooms, 1 cat acquaintance room, and a separate grooming room. All of these areas provide room for shelter staff to care for more animals and places for individuals to meet the shelter’s pets. During the opening ceremony, commissioners honored Dr. John Thuss, longtime veterinarian and public servant. The facility, located at 180 Government Way next to the Sheriff’s Office, is open Monday through Friday, 10 a.m.-4:45 p.m. Their new phone number is 828-572-4535.
