Come Celebrate Christmas Eve at The Shelter!

Much like the Inn that was full two thousand years ago, our shelter is full right now and there is no room

The Douglas County animal shelter will be open to the public on Christmas eve from noon until 4 PM for adoptions and rescues. Volunteers will be present to assist the public. The shelter has many loving and deserving dogs and cats who need forever homes this Christmas.

Much like the Inn that was full two thousand years ago, our shelter is full right now and the animals need the public's love and assistance to help them find forever homes before it is too late. Please consider coming by the shelter on Christmas Eve and visit with the animals.

Every animal adopted saves two lives. The animal that is adopted and the space provided for another animal to have the opportunity to find a forever home. So please consider coming to the shelter on Christmas eve and hopefully welcoming a new and deserving love into your life.
