Work began this week to install the mister system at the new Harbor Animal Care Center at 957 N. Gaffey St. in San Pedro.
The system is expected to be complete and working by the end of this week.

A Daily Breeze story today focuses on the new efforts to recruit volunteers at the shelter.



Daily Breeze reporter Donna Littlejohn has shared her homes with a succession of wonderful, funny, and occasionally difficult canines -- Muffin, Fritz, Ellie, Mercy, Pilgrim and now Cowboy, an Australian shepherd-border collie, and Tess, a border collie.

But they've really brought so much more than that -- like laughter and joy, some unexpected life lessons, and more than a few tears along the way.

This is so exciting! The new shelter looks great and the misters will keep the poor animals cool. It gets pretty hot around this area during the summer months. Thanks to Teresa for all of her hard work!
