Marlin Animal Shelter opening rescheduled

The recent weather storm was shorter lived than that of last year, however it did put a damper the grand opening of the City of Marlin’s newest municipal building, the Marlin Animal Control Center (MACC). 

The grand opening has been rescheduled for Feb. 19 from 11 a.m. until 1 p.m. 

The public is encouraged to come see the facility for themselves, and to learn more about how they can participate as volunteers or be good community stewards. 

The City of Marlin is thankful for its supporting partners: La Vega Veterinary Clinic, Wal-Mart, H-E-B, Marlin Animal Rescue Society (MARS), and Falls Animal Rescue Mission (FARM).

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.
