A northern Illinois animal shelter surpassed its goal of raising $20,000 Father's Day weekend after the air conditioning in the facility failed Friday.
The Animal House Shelter, located in Huntley, is a 6000-square-foot building and according to the facility’s operators, the air conditioning is damaged beyond repair and must be fully replaced at an estimated cost of $20,000.
“We house approximately 200 pets at the facility,” the shelter’s GoFundMe page said. “Please help the animals have a comfortable place to rest while they await their forever homes.”
