WHEN: Wednesday, May 18, 2016 at 11:15 a.m.
WHERE: Russell H. Perry Animal Care Center at 8411 Stacy Road, McKinney, TX 75070 (east of Custer, north of Hwy 121)

WHY: These much-needed renovations were made possible thanks to two generous grants. A grant of $260,791 from The Moody Foundation and a $25,000 grant from the Hillcrest Foundation. The facility’s upgrades, which began on February 29, include a total renovation of the dog kennels and puppy room, a replacement of the single cat condos on the adoption floor and the addition of a drainage system in the barn paddocks for recuperating livestock. The drainage system installation is still in progress.

The SPCA of Texas originally opened the building in 2001 as part of its long-range facilities planning, having purchased the 32-acre property in 1997.
“These renovations significantly increase our capacity to provide exceptional care to the animals at our Russell H. Perry Animal Care Center while they wait for their forever homes," said James Bias, SPCA of Texas President and CEO. |
