Nonprofit organization seeks to improve Jackson Animal Shelter.
Since October, the Jackson Animal Shelter has been closed due to several maintenance and staffing issues.
However, there is hope for the shelter.
Nonprofit organizations are trying to help improve the shelter, despite slow moving city leaders.
“As a state capital, it should be a shining example for the entire state,” Senior Strategist for Best Friends Animal Society - East Region, Lisa Barrett said.

Best Friends, a nonprofit animal welfare organization, offered up to $300,000 worth of free services.
“After our assessment, we did come back with an offer of embedding our best friend staff into the shelter, to help them with cleaning protocols, standard operational procedures, whatever they would need,” Barrett said.
