Most of the animals are from animal controls in surrounding counties. DOGS & CATS ONLY HAVE 8 DAYS FROM THE TIME THEY ENTER THE SHELTER TO FIND A HOME OR A RESCUE OR THEY WILL BE PUT DOWN. TIME IS EXTREMELY IMPORTANT IF YOU'RE WILLING TO SAVE ANY OF THEM. If you see an animal that interests you, please call right away or text at 260 number and they can hold the animal until you can adopt or make arrangements to adopt. DO NOT HESITATE. Rescue organizations are welcome to pull animals with proper paperwork. E-mail the shelter at acowf@att.net for more info. (PLEASE INCLUDE PHONE NUMBER IN YOUR EMAILS FOR QUICK RESPONSE, may not have time to email back).
Phone calls reach us quicker than the emails.
Our hours of operation are Monday through Saturday 9:00 am until 12:00 noon CST. NO SUNDAY OR EVENING CALLS PLEASE.
