Jay County Humane Society recently opened its new facility on the west side of Portland. It features nearly 40 kennels for dogs, two free-roaming cat rooms, a kitchen, an intake area and a meeting room. The humane society purchased the former Fastenal building and raised about $1 million for renovations to make it a facility to house animals. “We’ve adopted out many more animals just in the past three weeks,” said humane society consultant Linda Conn. “We’re so happy, really, that the animals in most likelihood won’t have to stay as long in the kennel.” (The Commercial Review/Bailey Cline)
