Donations Update!
Thanks to the incredible generosity of the communities within Douglas County, our donations page has changed rapidly
since the site's launch! Some of the incredible donations have nearly moved us to tears--those individuals who have gone above
and beyond the call of duty are listed in the "No Bones About It" section on our donations page. So please visit the new list--of
course, we welcome any and all dog, cat, and horse supplies but the things on our list are those we often run short of.
You might also notice new icons on our Adoptable Animal and Donations page that look a little like this:
These banners link to our new affiliate AnimalShelterStore.com. The links will take you to their store, where you can
shop for more than 1000 products for your furry friends. They even have some unique ones that we haven't heard of--chew sticks
for cats, Cesar Milan's Illusion Collar, and many more.
Every time you make a purchase, AnimalShelterStore.com will pay us up to 25% of the profits, which can be used for veterinary
care, medical supplies, and emergency funds for when we have surprise guests--like three litters of kittens (one mommy-less)
in three weeks!

Douglas County Animal control has been undergoing some HUGE changes! So far we've added gravel to the yard for our outside
pens and Meet & Greet area, acquired a brand new weather-proof shed to store our supplies and donations in, fenced and
floored five additional outside runs (soon to have roofs as well), and added doghouses to all of our outdoor dog areas. Whew!
It's been a long couple of months and we are happy to be making real progress. Since our transition to a humane, no-kill
shelter our goals have been to provide all of our furry friends with areas that they can stay clean and happy in--not to mention
areas for all of you to come visit and find a friend of your own! We invite all of you to come see the improvements we've
done so far--here is a taste of what's to come:
- elevated dog beds for the indoor and outdoor kennel areas
- a fully-equipped quarantine room for intakes
- outdoor and indoor Meet & Greet areas
- a community cat room
- re-built indoor kennel areas with 4-foot divider walls
- flower containers around the grounds (so we're easier to spot!)
And, of course, we're always looking for new ways to keep our residents happy. If you have any suggestions or ideas please
share via the feedback form on the Contact Us page! Until then, welcome to our new facility!
