HUNTINGTON â Dogs at the Huntington Cabell Wayne Animal Control Shelter will be able to enjoy more time outside after a barn improvement project is completed later this year.
The building is formally dubbed âThe Dog House,â but workers refer to it as âthe barn.â Built in 2013, the barn is used to give dogs another place to get exercise, said the shelterâs Executive Director Courtney Proctor Cross. Future improvements will give dogs more space to run.
One addition will be runs, or fenced-in pens, for each dog that include doors for animals to enter and exit the barn at will. Once finished, there will be runs for 25 dogs along the sides of the building.
