The City Council approved $100,000 to fund improvements to the Bloomington Animal Shelter, 9920 Logan Ave. S. The shelter, which opened in 1962, served 487 animals in 2023 and has become too small and outdated to serve the community’s needs.
Several improvements have been identified and prioritized to make the space safer and more functional while a long-term solution is developed. These include adding storage for supplies and donated items; creating a space for rescue partners and adopters to interact with animals; deep cleaning and a fresh coat of paint; improving lighting in kennel rooms; installing fenced outdoor dog run/relief area; remodeling front desk and food prep areas; and replacing the front front door.
