HYDE PARK, N.Y. — The Dutchess County SPCA received $250,000 in state grant funding to complete the construction of a new dog kennel wing, according to an announcement from state Sen. Michelle Hinchey.
The funding, secured by Hinchey, D-Saugerties, will replace the current 65-year-old kennel building, the announcement said, adding that the new wing will double the Dutchess SPCA’s space for housing dogs.
“Dutchess County SPCA provides loving, compassionate care for dogs and cats as they wait to be adopted by their forever families,” Hinchey said in a prepared statement. “I’m thrilled to have secured funding to help the shelter make the capital upgrades they need to build a beautiful new dog kennel wing and continue providing an incredible standard of care to these precious future pets.”
The announcement said Dutches County SPCA is one of the oldest independently-run SPCAs in the country, supported almost completely by donations.
