Last week, The executive committee of The Pas and Area Animal Shelter held a special meeting where they voted to pursue the possibility of establishing an animal shelter at 1559 Gordon Avenue the current tourist information building.

Herb Jacques the chairmen of TPAAS executive stated in a press release that their next major step is to pursue the zoning amendment required for an animal shelter.

The committee believes 1559 Gordon Avenue would be the least cost prohibitive and would offer the opportunity to open a shelter in a more timely fashion.

Funds will continue to be raised for the future animal shelter and the committees next fundraiser is a social on October 21st that will feature the Bon Jovi Tribute Band “Bed of Roses”.
