Donations; They Depend on Us, We Depend On You
Animal care, control and welfare is a major concern in our community. Stray cats and dogs affect us all. They roam our community in search of food, shelter and affection. They get in our trash and treat our
yards as a restroom, thus spreading disease. By running at large, stray animals also pose the threat of dog and cat bites. There is an estimated 2 stray dogs for every person in the County. That's an estimated 120,000 stray dogs. The numbers for stray cats are even higher than that.
The Knox-Whitley Animal Shelter is a private non-profit organization and our efforts can only do so much. We need help and so do you. The problem is just too large. Our community needs full time animal control, as well as more strict and properly enforced animal law. If you would like to make a change please contact the Whitley County Courthouse by calling 606-549-6000 and voice your opinion.
