Artesia gets new animal shelter

Artesia will soon be home to a brand new animal shelter, replacing the old Paws & Claw building, which has served the area for more than ten years. 

Officials say there was nothing wrong with the old shelter building, but the new one will offer much more space for animals. Currently, animals that can’t fit in the shelter are transported to foster homes in other cities or in Colorado, then advertised online so people can adopt them. 
The system will continue after the new shelter is built, but officials say it will be nice to be able to keep more animals in Artesia after they’re picked up. The new building will also have a large lobby and waiting room, which the old one lacked.
