Loudoun Nears Completion Of New Animal Services Facility

LEESBURG, VA — Construction of the Loudoun County Animal Services' new facility in Leesburg is scheduled for completion by late summer, the county said Thursday.

All structural and exterior work for the facility is complete. Over the next few weeks, the contractor will finish the remaining site work, the parking lot, duct installation and electrical work, according to the county.

The new 21,450-square-foot facility in Leesburg will serve as the primary location for Loudoun County Animal Services, replacing the existing 15,000-square-foot facility near Waterford. It will be located in the area of 42152 Claudia Drive in Leesburg, at the intersection of Crosstrail Boulevard and Kincaid Boulevard.

The new facility will provide many of the same services as the current animal shelter, including pet adoptions; animal welfare law enforcement; housing of stray, abandoned, or relinquished companion animals; dog license sales; volunteer opportunities; rabies vaccines; and educational programs.

The new facility will be the first public animal shelter in the country to meet 100 percent of the animal shelter guidelines established by the Association of Shelter Veterinarians.
