The City’s 12,500 square foot building has greatly increased the City’s ability to provide the highest standard of care to the community’s stray and abandoned animals.

The animal care center was made possible partly through a $1 million bequest from the estate of Nancy J. Brua, a former Army nurse who was stationed at Fort Huachuca early in her career-a career that included 13 months as a front-line surgical nurse in Vietnam.
