The Bjorn Room at the Franklin County Animal Shelter in Farmington was dedicated Tuesday afternoon as the Bjorn family, community members and staff gathered in the new animal intake and holding room. Jessie Geis, an employee at the shelter, shows the new double cages that can be used to hold aggressive dogs, allowing shelter workers to feed them without entering the cage. The project, which took almost a year to complete, provides space to hold new animals before they’re integrated in with the animals available for adoption, she said. The room will also be used for quarantine and isolation to prevent the spread of diseases. A gift from Richard, Judith, Rock and Jennifer Bjorn helped turn the former garage used for storage into the holding area. Craig Jordan and his crew have also provided construction work at a reduced cost, Geis said.
