WHEREAS, Area Texans are joining together on May 18, 2019, to |
|
celebrate the grand reopening of the Grand Prairie Animal Services |
|
and Adoption Center; and |
|
WHEREAS, First opened in 2003, the Grand Prairie Animal |
|
Services and Adoption Center has been undergoing an expansion and |
|
renovation project since March 2017 to accommodate the influx of |
|
homeless animals in the city; with the remodeling of the facility, |
|
the shelter has effectively tripled its cat capacity, doubled its |
|
dog capacity, and added outdoor play spaces as well as a |
|
"Get-to-Know-You" courtyard for dogs; and |
|
WHEREAS, Made possible by the diligent and cooperative |
|
efforts of many community leaders, the remodeled shelter is |
|
equipped with a new air-conditioning system that provides improved |
|
air filtering and a healthier environment for the animals; |
|
furthermore, the facility now includes an upgraded spay and neuter |
|
clinic, which will increase the number of surgeries performed each |
|
week; and |
|
WHEREAS, The newly refurbished Grand Prairie Animal Services |
|
and Adoption Center will serve as an invaluable resource for the |
|
community for years to come, and all those who contributed to its |
|
renovation and expansion may indeed take justifiable pride in |
|
bringing this project to fruition; now, therefore, be it |
|
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 86th Texas |
|
Legislature hereby commemorate the reopening of the Grand Prairie |
|
Animal Services and Adoption Center and extend to all those |
|
associated with the organization sincere best wishes for continued |
|
success; and, be it further |
|
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be |
|
prepared for the center as an expression of high regard by the Texas |
|
House of Representatives. |
