Bristol Virginia Leaders Are Considering Building An Animal Shelter. They Have Reached Out To 13 Localities And Veterinary Hospitals, But Haven’t Receive A Single Response. It’s Estimated To Cost 125-Thousand Dollars To Build A 32-Hundred Square Foot Shelter And Then 250-Thousand Dollars Annually To Staff And Operate It. None Of These Expenses Are Within The City’s Current Budget. City Leaders Will Discuss The Idea Further Before Making A Decision. .
