Annie Stenvig, a member of the humane society\u2019s board of directors, says the building project will not only give the shelter a greater capacity, but also provide more opportunities for it to be a service in the community. \u201cThere\u2019s a lot of good things that will come from a more modern facility, including a better layout. We\u2019ll be able to safely quarantine neglect cases that come in, as well as make it better for the animals while they\u2019re here. We also hope to add a kind of education center that does things like allow kids to come in and read to pets, and to include an improved visitation room.\u201d Currently, they are looking at different building plans for the structure, which will be located just north of the existing shelter southwest of Aberdeen. Annie estimates that it will be about a five-year project from start to finish.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>The Aberdeen Area Humane Society provides rescue and shelter for pets throughout northcentral and northeast South Dakota and southeast North Dakota.
