H.R. No. 1298
R E S O L U T I O N
WHEREAS, Area Texans are joining together on May 18, 2019, to
celebrate the grand reopening of the Grand Prairie Animal Services
and Adoption Center; and
WHEREAS, First opened in 2003, the Grand Prairie Animal
Services and Adoption Center has been undergoing an expansion and
renovation project since March 2017 to accommodate the influx of
homeless animals in the city; with the remodeling of the facility,
the shelter has effectively tripled its cat capacity, doubled its
dog capacity, and added outdoor play spaces as well as a
"Get-to-Know-You" courtyard for dogs; and
WHEREAS, Made possible by the diligent and cooperative
efforts of many community leaders, the remodeled shelter is
equipped with a new air-conditioning system that provides improved
air filtering and a healthier environment for the animals;
furthermore, the facility now includes an upgraded spay and neuter
clinic, which will increase the number of surgeries performed each
week; and
WHEREAS, The newly refurbished Grand Prairie Animal Services
and Adoption Center will serve as an invaluable resource for the
community for years to come, and all those who contributed to its
renovation and expansion may indeed take justifiable pride in
bringing this project to fruition; now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 86th Texas
Legislature hereby commemorate the reopening of the Grand Prairie
Animal Services and Adoption Center and extend to all those
associated with the organization sincere best wishes for continued
success; and, be it further
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be
prepared for the center as an expression of high regard by the Texas
House of Representatives.
