We are a group of Volunteers at the shelter trying to make a difference in the lives of these homeless pets. Public support, not negativity is needed to help make this happen, no matter what the past has brought, there are homeless pets still in need, and they need us to help them. The shelter has had some issues in many areas, that some are trying to work through, . The bottom line is that these animals at this shelter deserve a home just as well as any other animal does from any other area Shelter. These dogs and cats are homeless, and have no money attached to them when they arrive, unlike some agencies which require you to pay money to turn your pet over to them. The city has no funding set aside to help these animals other than to feed and water them. There are several volunteers helping these homeless animals by providing a safe place in their homes until a permanent home can be found. At this time, that is the only way that most can make it out . The publics support is needed to help make a difference at the shelter. For more info Please call306-6500 and ask for Chris, or Andrea at 401-1222. ATTENTION RESCUES: The shelter has a new director- Tom Hayden. Please contact him if you are interested in helping a dog at 435-6015. They are letting rescues that are 501c3 pull dogs. Unfortunately, if you are not they will not let you have the dog unless you adopt!! THIS is a very HIGH kill shelter, with no criteria to promote or make any effort to find these dogs a home. They need the help of rescues to find them good homes and make sure they are altered. Dogs are getting only 7 days holding, and if lucky a couple days for adoption, if that. Pure breeds require home inspections to adopt. Out of state adoptions are hard to do, due to this fact and that it is a first come first serve basis, so you can drive for hours and the dog could be gone once you get here. Sorry their rules not mine!
