Avery Humane Society Breaks Ground on New Shelter

On Friday, September 11, construction crews began clearing brush and started site preparation at the future home of the Avery County Humane Society Animal Shelter, located on New Vale Road behind Ingles in Newland. The property will be cleared and graded this fall in preparation for the shelter construction, which will begin in spring 2010. The Avery County Humane Society hopes to open the new facility in spring 2011. Photo by Catherine Morton
