START of OUR NEW SHELTER CONSTRUCTION
On August 15, 2023, we began construction of our new Animal Shelter in Josiah's Bay. The Humane Society’s dream of a new, modern shelter became reality through years of dedication, fundraising, and community support. The journey began with the purchase of land in Josiah’s Bay — a safe, breezy, and beautiful location where animals could recover and thrive. With the help of GK Construction, the project was carefully planned and divided into three major phases to make it financially achievable while maintaining high standards of design and durability.
Phase 1 focused on all the essential groundwork: preparing the land, pouring the foundation, erecting the steel structure, and enclosing the building. This stage gave the project its first visible form — transforming an empty piece of land into a real shelter-in-the-making.
Phase 2 began in late 2023 and ran through most of 2024, wrapping up around December 2024. The interior took shape with plumbing, electrical work, tiling, and paint — turning the structure into a functional and welcoming home for dogs, cats, and staff.
Phase 3 completed the vision with outdoor kennels, fencing, cat enclosures, a play yard, and quarantine areas featuring custom-made stainless steel cages. By September 2025, the final touches were added, and the bright yellow building stood as a symbol of compassion, teamwork, and hope for every animal that walks through its doors.
