SYRACUSE, N.Y. (WSYR) — The City of Syracuse has entered contract negotiations with B&R Bunkhouse to continue to house and care for stray dogs.
“The city and B&R Bunkhouse are back at the table, negotiating a way to continue the partnership, so there won’t be any disruption in services for the dogs that are being picked up at the city, cared for by B&R Bunkhouse,” Corey Driscoll Dunham, Syracuse’s Deputy Mayor, said.
The conversations are ongoing, but Driscoll Dunham said city officials are confident that an agreement can be reached. B&R Bunkhouse had plans to terminate its contract with the city. Their deadline was March 19th.
