We are very rescue-friendly, but are required to follow a few basic rules.
you can rescue a animal when it is due to be euthanized,or adopt that pet if you really wish it. Due to space we cannot hold any dog or cat. It is up to the rescue to find transport.or boarding faculities'and incur all costs.
Dogs are held 5-7 days before we euthanize, we hold as long as we possibily can,all owner turn -ins can be euthanzied when they are brought in but we try to give them that same chance at life as the stray.
Because we are such high volume and serve 5 counties, we cannot hold a dog very long for rescue. We will always try to do everything we can to help out, but understand that we have a 25 kennel capacity, we always have to make room for dogs coming into the shelter.we always look forward to donations to help the need to make life a little more comfortable for the animals and we would love to be able to aquire outdoor runs for the summer months. this year has been rough for many pets all over because of our economy everyone is having problems but many are having to get rid of their beloved pets. so again reputable rescues are always welcomed.
Pull fees can be made to our paypal account estillcoanimalshelter@yahoo.com but the fee is $28, to cover Paypal's fees.
Some vet services are available for additional costs, including spay/neuter, heartworm test, and rabies vaccine.

DONATING
If you have room in your heart, but not in your home for one of our pets, you can sponsor their spay/neuter fee, which would greatly increase their chances of finding a forever home. If you'd like to sponsor a dog or cat, $50-$65 is usually all it takes to get one of our animals altered. A $25 sponsor fee will be enough to save most animals by allowing them to get to rescues. If you're interested in sponsoring one of our animals, please e-mail Sandie at estillcoanimalshelter@yahoo.com or call Sandie at 606-723-3587 to see what is needed to sponsor a pet. Sponsorships and donations may be made with Paypal for your convenien
