Thanks in part to a generous donation of $1 million from the Joanie Bernard Foundation, the Boone County Animal Shelter announced on Nov. 15 the launch of a capital campaign to raise funding to construct a new, more modern building and grounds in that Northern Kentucky County. The money donated by the foundation is part of the estimated $6 million that will be needed to make the new shelter a reality.
