The Danville municipal animal shelter and the local grassroots campaign, Danville Deserves Better, both made significant announcements on October 15th. The Danville Area Humane Society plans to update its strategic plan, while Danville Deserves Better announced the opening of a physical headquarters to provide resources to local animal owners. The shelter, criticized for its high euthanasia rates, aims to reduce the number of homeless animals while remaining an open-admission shelter. The campaign, funded by Best Friends, has been pushing for changes at the shelter since fall 2023, focusing on improving transparency and advertising of adoptable pets.
