Lucky Paws launches drive for new shelter in Nocona
By BARBARA GREEN
A campaign is underway to create Nocona Lucky Paws Animal Shelter and Adoption Center.
A group of dedicated animal lovers and veterinarians have come together to build a new, fresh humane animal shelter to serve the Nocona area. The shelter board members have partnered with the city to establish building and operational plans for a shelter.
No doubts the need for a facility to handle abandoned dogs in the community, and while the City of Nocona operates a basic covered outdoor kennel, it can become overwhelming.
Jeana Pethel, member of the board does not recall exactly when they all got together to begin working on the idea, but it sort of all came to fruition last summer. Read the full feature on the Nocona Lucky Paws Animal Shelter and Adoption Center in the weekend News. Top photo:Volunteers clean up the city’s outdoor kennels during a work day last Sunday.
