The shelter was built in 1998 and serves 15 different communities Enclosed you will find a copy of our impound services agreement. If a stray animal was brought into our impound facility, we would hold the animal for the required 5 business days. If an owner were found, they would pay for all fees before the animal would be released. The City would not be billed for that animal. If there is no owner at the end of the impound period, the City would be billed. I have enclosed a sample of an impound/billing report for you to see. We are able to adopt out many of the animals that are not claimed. Our shelter works closely with several animal rescue groups to find homes for adaptable animals. We euthanize those that have health or temperament problems. If you would like to arrange for an animal control officer to pick up the animals, the charge would be 30.00 per call. Otherwise we could issue a key to the proper authority in your City and they could bring the animals over. If able, residents themselves could transport animals to the shelter. It works well to have a City Official or the Sheriff's Department authorize animals to be brought into the shelter. This helps to ensure that only animals from you area are being billed to you. We are able to work with any guidelines that you wish to set up. Please review the enclosed contract. If you wish to sign up for our services, you can sign the agreement, and return it to the address on the bottom of the contract. I will mail you a second signed copy for your records. You are welcome to tour the facility if you would like. If you have any questions, please call.
