Proposed $59.8M animal shelter included in Fort Worth bond election
About 7% of Fort Worth’s $845 million bond program would go toward building a new, expanded and modernized animal shelter if approved by voters May 2.
Updated facilities would help streamline operations, address capacity issues and ultimately help get animals out of the shelter quicker, said Chris McAllister, director of Fort Worth Animal Care & Control.
“Everything we do in some way comes back to public safety and adoptability,” he said.
Fort Worth’s bond election is divided into six propositions, which each appear separately on the May 2 ballot. Proposition F would dedicate $59.8 million to construct a new 45,000-square-foot shelter to replace the Chuck & Brenda Silcox Animal Care & Adoption Center in southeast Fort Worth.
