The Townships of Uxbridge and Scugog recently met with New Animal Shelter for Uxbridge and Scugog (Nasus) Board of Directors to review project status and discuss future plans.
“At a meeting last year, the Nasus Board of Directors was reassured that money raised by Nasus through fundraising, along with the contributions promised by the Township of Uxbridge and the Township of Scugog are being held in reserve for the project.” it said.
“A project update will be part of the Nasus AGM on February 22 at 7 pm. The Townships and the Nasus Board of Directors will meet quarterly going forward to review project plans and status.” the news release continued.
Work on the construction of a new Animal Shelter was put on hold in 2019 when estimates to build the new shelter came in much higher than expected. A significant fundraising campaign by Nasus raised money in both communities for a new shelter. The current shelter, located on Reach Street in Port Perry, is jointly operated by the Municipalities of Uxbridge and Scugog. The aging facility requires maintenance and updating and is undersized for the number of animals it supports.
