Groundbreaking Ceremony Set for the Trenton-Dade Animal Center

Dade County is celebrating a major milestone in animal care and community service. After years of planning, collaboration, and anticipation, the Trenton-Dade Animal Center is officially moving from vision to construction — and the community is invited to witness this historic moment.

The Groundbreaking Ceremony will take place on:

Tuesday, December 16, 2025
11:30 AM
926 Sunset Drive, Trenton, GA
Look for the balloons near the Dade Recycling & Waste Transfer Station.

The new center represents an important step forward for animal welfare in Dade County, providing a modern, more efficient, and compassionate space for sheltering animals, reuniting pets with owners, and helping families find their newest companion.

Community participation is highly encouraged — residents, supporters, and animal lovers are welcome to attend, celebrate, and be part of the beginning chapter of this new facility.

This groundbreaking marks not just the start of construction, but the start of better outcomes for local pets, stronger adoption opportunities, and a more supportive future for animals in our care.
