The Macoupin County Animal
Shelter is a facility that keeps animals until they find a home, and this policy will continue
into our new building- we know there is a family for every one of our pets,
we just have to make the meeting happen.
 The
animals are currently housed in a small shelter that was built in
the 1960's. This 40+ year old facility is much too small,
measuring 24ft x 50ft, for the county's needs and is in serious
disrepair. Pipes sometimes freeze and burst in the winter, animal
waste removal is not efficient, and sometimes the kennels have
several dogs in each one. Some local contractors donated time and
materials for minor improvements over the years, but more has to
be done. We make the best of what we have to work with and realize
that the animals are better off with us, getting shelter, food,
and water, rather than braving the elements outside year-round.
With the help and support of
animal lovers like you, we can find quality homes for these pets
and build a facility that can protect and care for them during
their time of need. Be sure to look at our current listing of pets
available for adoption and mark your
calendar with our upcoming fundraising
events. |
