New Aurora Animal Shelter

The city of Aurora is in the design phase for a new, state-of-the-art animal shelter, which is anticipated to open in 2028. The location is TBA. Stay tuned for updates on this page as plans progress.

You can help make this vision a reality by donating to support the new facility. Every contribution makes a difference for the animals in our community.
