Law N Paws animal shelter in jeopardy as El Paso County Linear Park project grows

EL PASO, Texas (KVIA) -- El Paso-based Laws N Paws animal rescue, which is currently caring for more than 75 dogs in its shelter, is desperately seeking a new home and asking the community for help.

In a Facebook post this past weekend, the rescue said El Paso County is building a six-foot wall as part of the Desert Acceptance Linear Park project in far east El Paso.

"They’ve told us we can 'just use the corner' — but there is no viable access point," the Facebook post said. "It’s not only unrealistic — it’s a fire and safety hazard. They know this, and yet we’ve still been given a June 30th deadline to relocate, or these innocent survivors will be left without care or protection."

The rescue says they secured land for a new "sanctuary," but leaders are asking for help to build kennels and fencing before the deadline.

ABC-7 spoke to the founder of Law N Paws and El Paso County Commissioner for Precinct 1, Jackie Butler about the situation and construction of the Linear Park. Tune in to ABC-7's newscasts for the details.
