A architect’s rendering of what the new Worcester County Human Society headquarters might look like. Fundraising is about to be underway to build a replacement for the nonprofit’s current home outside Berlin.
Aging, overcrowded, and falling apart, Worcester County’s only animal shelter may be getting a state-of-the-art replacement on a vacant plot across from the Ocean City airport.
It means the Worcester County Humane Society is on a mission to raise millions for a new no-kill shelter and adoption center, and they’re hoping animal lovers on the Eastern Shore will open their wallets to help turn those plans into a reality.
“It’s failing badly, and it needs to be rebuilt,” said Ocean City restaurateur John Fager, who’s leading efforts to raise another $2 million more toward the project’s estimated $5.5 million price tag.
Why do they need such an elaborate building, and why pay such high prices for an architect? Wasted money!
