The Allegan County Animal Shelter has found themselves in a really tough position as state mandated repairs is forcing the shelter closed according to WWMT.com,

The shelter, operated by Wishbone Pet Rescue Alliance, must remove all of the animals from its facility by Sunday, Jan. 19, 2019. Required repairs include a new floor, ventilation system and the addition of a sink in the facility’s operation room. The renovations are expected to take four to six weeks.
