On May 27, 2009, through the hard work of all of its members, volunteers and community support, Shelby County celebrated its first anniversary of the last animal that was euthanized due to space.
In other counties, animals that are feral, sick or injured are considered unadoptable and are euthanized. In Shelby County, these animals are adoptable and deserve a chance. Through donations of time and money, these animals have been helped and have been successfully adopted! The newly established bimonthly spay/neuter clinic at Shelby County Animal Shelter has allowed animals to be altered prior to leaving the shelter. The No-Kill Mission pays the ongoing operating costs and for medications and supplies. Low cost spay/neuter clinics at Shelby County Humane Society, as well as through Woodstock animal Foundation, have helped with the prevention of many unwanted litters. Our newly incorporated trap/neuter/release program, "Operation Catsnip", has provided a valuable service for our feral cat population.
