 The purpose of the new building was to provide an isolation center for dogs in need of treatment.The building was subject to a zoning change that required the 26th Ward Alderman, Roberto Maldonado’s approval before it could be sold.In order to get the zoning change approved, OTAT worked with a zoning attorney and Alderman Maldonado required OTAT to gather signatures from all nearby residences, including the adjacent school, Funston Elementary.
