GRAND RAPIDS, Mich.- The Kent County Animal Shelter (KCAS) is hoping to increase adoptions by changing up their hours.
Starting December 3, 2018, the shelter will be open from 1 until 7 p.m. Monday through Thursday. It will be open from 9 a.m. until 5 p.m. on Fridays. The shelter's adoption hours will end a half hour before close.
Shelter officials say this is the first step in a phased approached to increase access to shelter services and hopefully increase adoption opportunities -- consequently lowering the shelter's euthanization rate.
In early 2019, the KCAS will be opening its doors on Saturday for even more access. Operation hours for Saturdays are still being determined.
