BERNALILLO COUNTY, N.M. (KRQE) – Bernalillo County's Animal Care Services and Resource Center will reopen Tuesday following the start of remediation work after the discovery of black mold in some areas of the facility. Over the weekend, contractors began remediation work on two kennel rooms which house approximately 36 dogs. Contaminated materials were removed and both spaces were cleaned, disinfected, and fogged for approximately 24 hours. Air tests also came back clear, allowing the facility to resume normal operations in those spaces.
