The Dog Adoption Center of the non-profit Animal Shelter in Riberas del Pilar will close its doors on June 30, its founder and operator Geoffrey Kaye announced this week.
Kaye cited hesitation by Chapala authorities over issuing a new license for the center following neighborhood complaints about noise as the reason for his decision.
Kaye said he has complied with all the municipal requirements for the center over the past 11 years.
“This actually all happened at a propitious time,” said Kaye. “We have spent about 30,000 dollars a year on the center, which for the past three years has housed no more than 12 dogs at a time. We were successful in terms of adoptions, with more than 150 dogs a year going to good homes but as the general economy has slowed and sales at the Animal Shelter store that supports the project are a little sluggish, that money could go a long way toward more help for our cats and other animals at Lakeside.”
