Happily Ever After Animal Sanctuary is expanding.
The no-kill shelter near Marion will celebrate the grand opening of its Green Bay Adoption Center at 2065 Holmgren Way, Ashwaubenon, May 8 and 9. The building, across from Skip's Diner, is being renovated by volunteers to house 24 to 40 cats daily and four to 20 dogs on weekends only.
The nonprofit HEA gets much of its support from the Green Bay area, but because the one-hour drive to Marion may be a deterrent for some, hopes are the local site will make adoptions more convenient.
"The thought is to give more exposure to our animals and help them get adopted out more quickly, and to be able to serve more animals,'' said Erin Elliott, volunteer coordinator for HEA.
All animals at both sites are spayed or neutered, up to date on vaccinations and microchipped. Animals not adopted from the local center will go back to the shelter in Marion, Elliott said.
The new center will be open 6 to 8 p.m. Monday through Friday and 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday and Sunday. It will be staffed entirely by volunteers.
A leash cutting is planned for May 8.
For volunteer opportunities or for businesses interested in sponsoring one month's rent of the building for $500, go to www.happilyeverafterinfo.org.
