New Leadership Possibly Coming to Boggs Mountain

Boggs Mountain Humane Shelter is discussing the possibility of a new board of directors.

Danny Benson, a current member of the board of directors at Boggs Mountain, said they have been speaking with several groups about the possibility of new leadership at the shelter.

“We’ve had a couple of groups that have expressed interest in taking over, and they’re doing an exploratory at this point,” said Benson. “We’re certainly excited that it would be a new face for the shelter and that’s probably what needs to happen at this point to help it carry on.”

Benson does say that the current board is continuing to work towards completing all tasks that are necessary at this time.

“Our goal as the board is to keep working with the current investigation,” said Benson. “At some point, we will fulfill our role for the county, which means that animal control will open back up in the near future.”

The county’s animal control facilities share a building with Boggs Mountain Humane Shelter.
