DuPage Animal Shelter Expansion

By Mark Loehrke
Appears in the August 2022 issue.

Looking to relieve the overcrowded conditions of its current facility in Wheaton, DuPage County Animal Services is planning a major expansion to the DuPage Animal Shelter. With construction set to begin next March, the 9,750-square-foot upgrade will include additional dog kennels and separate rooms for cats, as well as a new primary entrance, expanded veterinary facilities, and space for animal-related education classes. The project is expected to cost roughly $11 million, funded primarily through donations. –M.L.
