May 16—The Animal Welfare Department's West Side shelter will be closed for admissions and reclaims on Monday, May 20, due to an electrical box being installed for a new HVAC system. The shelter will resume normal operations the following day, the agency said in a news release.

If needed, the Eastside shelter, 8920 Lomas NE, admission desk will be open for emergency admission of stray animals from 7:30 a.m. to 6 p.m. AWD will only accept emergency intake of stray animals, meaning animals in need of medical treatment or that may pose a risk to public safety. No appointment is necessary for emergency admissions.

The Eastside shelter will accept non-emergency stray pets by appointment only. Anyone who finds a stray pet should schedule an appointment.
