Bowie Plans Leash-Cutting for New Animal Holding Room

Bowie residents are invited to attend a symbolic leash-cutting ceremony to open the city’s temporary animal holding room.

The gathering at City Hall will be held at 9 a.m. Saturday, Feb. 7.

According to a news release, residents and official will meet in the main lobby for a brief welcome and proceed outside, where there will be a leash cutting to recognize this facility’s addition to city services. Following the ceremony, attendees may visit the extended animal holding facility and ask questions about its operation.

Modifications to the new room, which will be used primarily for cats, were paid for by a donation from a local animal support group, CLAW.

Please call 301-809-3002 or email lransom@cityofbowie.org to let organizers know if you will be coming.
