Marlin Animal Shelter to open

The City of Marlin invites the public to the grand opening of their newest municipal facility.

The City of Marlin recently completed construction of a 1,900 square foot animal control center known as The MACC. Currently, it is the only permanent facility of its kind in Falls County that is specifically designed to serve as an official animal control center. 

The building will provide an operations post for the Marlin Animal Control Officer (ACO), as well as provide shelter and provision for captured animals. The MACC serves the people of Marlin by maintaining domestic animal populations through the return of furry family members to their homes, or by placing them in adoptive homes. 

The city is hoping to partner with local animal care and advocacy groups to offer services, micro-chipping, and spay and neuter on a regular basis through area veterinarian clinics. 

On Feb. 5 from 11 a.m. until 1 p.m. the City of Marlin cordially invites the public to visit the MACC and meet city and county leaders, the ACO, other city staff, and to view the building first-hand to better understand future animal control services. Marlin Animal Rescue Society, Falls Animal Rescue Mission, La Vega Veterinarian Clinic of Bellmead and Walmart of Marlin are proud sponsors of the MACC.
