A new day for Grant County's animals

New shelter, new opportunities as Grant County Animal Outreach prepares for its next chapter

MOSES LAKE — For decades, the aging concrete building on Randolph Road has served as a refuge for lost, abandoned and neglected animals across Grant County. Inside, staff members have battled frozen pipes, failing electrical systems, overcrowded kennels and leaking hoses. They have cleaned runs by headlamp when power failed, worked through winter cold in oversized coats and improvised solutions to problems the building was never designed to handle. Through it all, the animals still needed food, water, medical care, enrichment and, perhaps most importantly, hope.
