Bishop Animal Shelter Kennels Ribbon-Cutting Ceremony

Celebrate the completion of a major kennel expansion at Manatee County Animal Welfare's Bishop location, with a ribbon cutting Wednesday, December 17, 2025, at 11 a.m.

This investment significantly enhances safety, comfort, medical care, enrichment and adoptability for the pets in the County’s care and is a central component of MCAW’s long-term strategy to modernize its shelter system and responsibly transition operations away from the aging, legacy Palmetto Shelter. The expanded Bishop location will now serve as the primary hub for animal care, treatment and enrichment.
