OUR   HISTORY 

In the Fall of 2006, a group of concerned citizens gathered at Isothermal Community College to discuss the plight of homeless dogs and cats in our area.  In the course of these discussions, it became clear that the most imperative need was the construction of a new Animal Control facility.

Our existing shelter, now more than 30 years old, is inadequate, in disrepair and does not meet state code requirements. Because of the severely limited space, most of the animals taken in are not allowed sufficient time to be adopted or otherwise placed in loving homes. 

In January 2007, a committee was formed to address this vital issue. It is the goal of this committee to bring into our area a new Community Pet Center. 

A Pet Center is more than an animal shelter. It is a Center for pet-related services and activities, such as: Animal Control, 24-hour Emergency Support, Public Education and Information on existing and future Programs, Animal Care and Rehabilitation, as well as pet supplies. 

ONE YEAR LATER... looking back, it's been both wonderful and amazing to see the amount of community support we've received over the past year. We can only thank you for caring and for wanting to address the same issues that we do and to ask you to continue to be supportive as we move forward in this process. We have a Purpose... we're making Progress... and we have Plans... Be a part of our Community Pet Center!
