Circle of Friends CEO Lauralee Tupa says the move within the Riverwalk Centre should be completed by June 15th. “Adding more services and more classes…kids can come in with a huge commitment to youth education…read with a pet…and be able to be with pets that are eligible for adoption.”
Along with dogs and cats the space will offer an expanded pet food pantry. The site is in addition to the main location at 4375 North Washington Street in Grand Forks.
