SARASOTA COUNTY, Fla. — April 30 is National Adopt a Shelter Pet Day.
While some of our Bay area shelters have managed to find homes for all their cats and dogs during the pandemic, the Humane Society of Sarasota County is still looking to clear its kennels.
As Photojournalist Tim Burquest shows you, they're in the process of an $8 Million renovation.
You can check out the animals on their website.
The staff at the shelter recently announced on Facebook that they will reopen to the public May 1.
