SPRINGFIELD, Mass. (WWLP) - Plans are moving full speed ahead for Springfield's new animal shelter.

The Dakin Pioneer Valley Humane Society held an informational session Wednesday night to tell the community more about the shelter.

Dakin purchased the former MSPCA building in Springfield, and will be replacing the MSPCA facility that was forced to close last month because of a loss in funds.

Leslie Harris, the Executive Director of the Dakin Pioneer Valley Humane Society, told 22News the Springfield community has welcomed them with open arms. "We're very excited because we are closing in on the august first date, our plan is rolling right along and we're here in Springfield to talk to the community and volunteers about how they can help."

The Springfield shelter will also offer a high volume, spay/neuter clinic. The shelter is expected to open on August 1st.
