Description
Due to structural issues, the City of Redmond is being forced to tear down the building housing the Motley Zoo Animal Rescue, leaving the foster-based rescue without another place to go.
Executive Director Jme Thomas said air conditioning repairs over the summer revealed issues with the building, leading the city to decide the structure was unsafe. It's slated for demolition in January.
"That’s it, the bulldozers are coming so we are hoping for the best but preparing for the worst,” said Thomas.
Since 2009, Motley Zoo Animal Rescue has offered a unique brand of animal services. The rescue and its foster homes work with animals who may otherwise be euthanized at a shelter to address their issues and eventually match the animals with a compatible adopter so they can live "happily ever after," according to the organization's website.
The rescue also offers "Rock Star Treatment Services" like doggy daycare, and training to generate revenue to support the mission. Public donations also help fund the rescue.
The Redmond facility also serves as the rescue's storage so staff is currently working on liquidating supplies.
“We literally have no place to go and nowhere to store things so it’s dire, and we know a solution is out there,” said Thomas.
