FRIENDSWOOD, Texas — The city is still waiting on a few more cages, but Friendswood’s new animal control center is up and running.
The city’s old facility had about 1,000 square feet, said Animal Control Supervisor Craig Baker. The new building has 5,500 square feet, and once all the cages are in place the facility’s capacity for holding cats and dogs will triple.
But the city is looking for a little help.
The new facility, 3000 W. Parkwood Ave., can hold 18 dogs and 21 cats with its current kennels, Baker said. But officials are hoping to get more cages and kennels for the holding, isolation and receiving rooms, he said
