(KNZA)--The funding foundation is in place for the construction of a new shelter for Doniphan County animals in need.
According to a release from the Bendena-based Doniphan County Pet Rescue, donations made through the Doniphan County Community Foundation's "Give Where You Live Day," allowed for a $15,000 deposit to be made, allowing the rescue to be placed on the production schedule of a Jamesport, Missouri company for construction of a custom built kennel.
The release calls the funding "incredible news," as a the kennel building will be a "huge improvement" for the dogs under the care of the rescue.
Although the $15,000 is in place, additional funding is still needed, with donations being accepted.
The release says the goal, if enough community support is gained, is to have the new kennel in place prior to the cold winter months.
