Animal welfare group works to establish shelter in Warren County

Posted

An animal welfare group is implementing an aggressive plan to open a shelter in Warren County by 2019.Concerned Citizens for Animal Control, CCAC, is seeking volunteers and donations from individuals and corporate partners in Warren County to fund its efforts.CCAC hopes to raise $100,000 by the end of 2018. The funds will be used to build a new shelter or to buy or rent existing vacant property.Established in 2001, CCAC’s mission is to provide shelter and find homes for stray animals of Warren County, implement spay and neuter programs, educate the community and offer pet training.Currently, animals for adoption are fostered in homes and in a few pet stores in the area, but this is a short-term solution. CCAC has now installed a new animal shelter board to fulfill the plan.“There are few laws to help the animals in getting medical care/permanent homes and no large place to use for adoptions and other programs,” Pat Schulze, board president, explained. “This shelter would serve that need and also get animal groups working together to help solve the challenges.”The shelter also will actively work to get all adoptable animals homes.“Through our Shelter Challenge we hope to energize our community to action and meet our financial goal and get the shelter built,” said Schulze.Roger Mauzy, Warren County presiding commissioner, also is in favor of the plan.“I fully support the efforts of CCAC. Warren County desperately needs an animal shelter, and I will assist in whatever legal ways I can and encourage the business community to join the effort,” he said.For more information, people may visit the group’s website www.ccacwc.com.The site also contains a wish list for donated goods and services and links for additional ways to support fundraising for a Warren County shelter.To contact the group, people may send emails to info@ccacwc.com or call 636-456-SPAY (7729).C.C.A.C.
