SHOUT OUT: Should the City of Bowie Have Its Own Animal Shelter?

Although the City of Bowie Town Hall currently houses a short-term animal holding facility for pets who have been separated from their owners, a local group called Bowie CLAW wants the town to construct its own short-term animal shelter, separate from the town hall facilities.

The city’s Financial Advisory Committee advised against this expense at last week’s mayor and council meeting, due to the expense and the fact that there is a new county-run facility nine miles away from Bowie.

What do you think, Bowie? Should the town have its own temporary shelter, separate from the town hall holding facility? Is the town hall facility adequate?
