WHO we are
A "No-Kill" Shelter
Our shelter has committed to saving all savable pets entering our care. We do not euthanize healthy or treatable pets even at an owner’s request. We only euthanize a pet if:
- A veterinarian has assessed that there is no chance of recovering an acceptable quality of life, or
- It would be clearly inhumane or unsafe not to do so immediately, or
- In cases of irremediable canine aggression when (1) a veterinarian has eliminated medical treatment as a solution; (2) rehabilitation by a specialist in canine behavior has failed; and (3) staff and public safety cannot be reasonably assured, or other management protocols seriously compromise quality of life.
Funding
The animal shelter and animal control are funded through fines, dog licenses, adoption fees, and donations.
The Friends of the Tucker County Animal Shelter is a 501(c)(3) organization who helps with fundraising to support the work of the shelter.
