The Watauga Humane Society was chosen as the Grand Marshal of the Town of Boone July 4 parade. Current President Shaun Lundy and Past Presidents Judy Clarke and Dee Dundon rode in the Grand Marshal car at the head of the parade. Board members, shelter staff, and volunteers rounded out the parade crew.

The Watauga Humane Society’s Irma Baker Lyons Adoption Center is one step closer today as Humane Society members and friends broke ground for the 16,000-square-foot facility on Don Hayes Rd. Humane Society President Shaun Lundy said, “The new adoption center will house twice the number of animals we can accommodate at our current Casey Lane shelter and will make it possible to offer many additional services to both the people and the animals of our community.” The groundbreaking took place Saturday, June 13. Until the new adoption center is completed, we will continue to operate in our current Casey Lane location.
