Ocala animal shelter on hold over concerns

Plans to use a property for a proposed animal shelter in Ocala were put on pause on Tuesday. One family donated a nearly 140-acre property off West Highway 316 in Ocala to Marion County. The county is considering turning that property into a shelter. Right now, it can house a little more than 200 dogs. With a special permit approval, the county would be able to add a room to house 400 animals at once.
