This week County Executive Ed Day met with an unlikely donor to secure additional funding for a new county animal shelter. Pit bull mix Roo presented Executive Day with two checks totaling $472,578 at the Hi Tor Animal Care Center in Pomona to be used for the construction of a new shelter building. “We are so thankful to Hi Tor and all of the folks who donated to their shelter fund over the years for this contribution,” said Day. “We will put this funding to good use in building the new state of the art facility to care for our County’s animals. We had expected roughly $350,000 from Hi Tor, so this amount is a pleasant surprise which will reduce the amount of County tax dollars going to the project.”
