County of Granville issued the following announcement on Nov. 1.
The Granville County Animal Shelter will transition to a new schedule beginning Tuesday, November 1 to better serve the public during the highly in-demand weekend hours and allow additional time for animal care, cleaning, and training during the week.
The new public operating hours will be Tuesday through Saturday from 12:00 p.m. to 4:30 p.m. The shelter will be closed to the public Sunday and Monday. The shelter’s operating hours are when the public may come to meet adoptable animals, have vaccines administered, or surrender animals. As is the case now, Animal Control Officers answer calls for service even when the shelter is not open. The new hours will have no effect on this service.
“This new schedule will allow additional hours on Saturday for our critical public-facing services like allowing folks to come in to meet our adoptable animals,” said Animal Management Director Matt Katz. “We have consistently heard from the public that Saturdays are the easiest time to get the entire family to the shelter so that they can make these adoption decisions together. Animal Management staff will still man the phones at the shelter on Mondays during business hours and our Animal Control Officers are ready and able to answer calls for service to protect the animals and citizens of Granville County at all times.”
