Friends of the Pocatello Animal Shelter adds more awnings to shelter dog runs

Prospective pet parents looking to play with a possible new furry family member outside the Pocatello Animal Shelter now have another spot out of the elements.

Another awning was installed over three of the shelter’s dog runs thanks to a $6,350 donation from the Friends of the Pocatello Animal Shelter and a $500 grant from the Allstate Foundation.

“Thank you to The Friends of the Pocatello Animal Shelter for their continuous and generous support,” Interim Animal Services Director Ron Knapp said. “This project would not have been possible without them.”

Last year, the Friends helped to purchase awnings for five of the shelter’s dog runs.
