Despite a growing number of adoptions and its most successful fiscal year ever, the Animal Humane Society is electing to close its shelter in Buffalo by November 1 of this year. The closure will impact nearly 20 staff members in the Buffalo area and dozens of volunteers, who work to feed, bathe and pamper the animals left at the shelter for adoption. Crossroads Animal Shelter in Buffalo is not impacted by this closure, though those concerned about adopting a pet or putting a pet up for adoption in the Wright County area are encouraged to contact that shelter this fall.
