County humane shelter re-opens

The Huntington County Humane Shelter has reopened after being closed for several weeks due to outbreaks of animal illnesses.

The shelter battled an outbreak of kennel cough among its canine populace and calicivirus among its feline populace.

After nursing affected animals back to health and cleaning the shelter several times, the shelter reopened on May 7.

The shelter is open Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday from noon to 5 p.m. It is located at 390 Thurman Poe Way, Huntington. The shelter can be reached at 356-0355.

The Susan Dreyer Sharpe Memorial Dog Park, located next to the shelter, will open for the season on Friday, May 18.
