In this episode of Ames in Focus, we're excited to welcome back Ron Edwards, Animal Control Supervisor for the City of Ames. Ron joins us with some big news — the official kickoff of the capital campaign to build a new Animal Shelter in Ames!

We talk about:

  • The incredible number of animals the shelter has helped in the past year

  • What it means to be a No Kill Animal Shelter and how the team continues to meet that commitment

  • Highlights from the Capital Campaign Kickoff Press Conference

  • And most importantly, what a new, modern shelter will mean for the animals, the staff, and the dedicated volunteers who make it all possible

If you love animals and want to help create a better future for them in Ames, visit AmesAnimalShelter.org for more information and to donate to the new shelter.
