Zootoo update
MITCH CASEY The Marietta Times
Angie Seevers, a kennel technician with the Humane Society of the Ohio Valley, gets a big kiss as she completes her feeding rounds Thursday at the shelter.
There was jubilation—cheers, hoots and hollers—Thursday morning at the Humane Society of the Ohio Valley on Mount Tom Road just outside of Marietta.
Staff learned the shelter was named one of three finalists for a $1 million shelter makeover contest, sponsored by Zootoo.com.
Final word comes Wednesday on “The Morning Show with Mike & Juliet,” which airs at 9 a.m. on Fox Parkersburg, channel 14.
“I was so excited!” Angie Seevers, a shelter employee, said. “When I heard, I was hollering at Sharon (Morris, assistant shelter manager), and everybody was cheering and excited.”
Even the dogs barked.
“It made the day here, that’s for sure,” Seevers said.
In addition to just sprucing up, adding space and repairing what needs fixing, Seevers dreams of more for the shelter.
“There are so many things we could do here for the animals to make it so much nicer for them,” she said.
