Construction is officially underway on the city of Aurora’s new animal shelter!

City officials celebrated the milestone with a groundbreaking ceremony on June 2 for the future 42,000-square-foot, two-story facility. The new shelter will replace the city’s current 13,000-square-foot shelter, which was built in the 1980s, and will provide expanded space and resources to better serve Aurora’s growing community and enhance care for animals in need.

Construction is expected to be completed in late 2027, with the new shelter scheduled to open to the public in 2028.

Six young men associated with groups prone to youth violence in Aurora received an ultimatum: We know who you are. We will help you. But this is your final warning.

The city’s SAVE (Standing Against Violence Every Day) program held its latest group meeting late last week. Under the SAVE program, law enforcement, community members, faith leaders, and community-based organizations come together to work toward the common goal of keeping young people most at risk of gun violence alive, safe and free.
