LEVERETT — Dakin Humane Society introduced Wednesday that it has bought its former animal shelter at 63 Montague Road in Leverett to Better Together Dog Rescue.
The information launch didn’t embrace a gross sales value for the three,480-square-foot building on 5 acres of land.
But information on the Franklin County Registry of Deeds present the sale was for $575,000.
Dakin consolidated its operations in its Springfield location to function at most effectivity in March 2020 after COVID precautions went into pressure.
“Before the pandemic, more and more animals were being placed in foster homes, since they simulate a home environment, are less stressful for animals, and can accommodate those pets who have additional needs. Thanks to so many dedicated foster caregivers, we reduced our need for the additional shelter space that the Leverett property provided, said Meg Talbert, executive director at Dakin Humane Society. ” We are pleased to see that the property will be owned by another non-profit organization. The building’s structure and surroundings are especially ideal for an animal welfare organization.”
“Better Together Dog Rescue is thrilled to finally have a home,” acknowledged Jenny Franz, founding father of the organization. “Our mission to support dogs and the people who love them will continue to grow within the facility. We cannot wait to open our doors to the public.”
