Bill Atkinson Animal Welfare Center
This is an open-admissions shelter, meaning most lost, stray, or surrendered animals are accepted.
We strive to find appropriate adoptive families, foster homes, or rescue groups for all the animals in our care.
If you're interested in adopting or fostering a new pet, or if your pet is lost, the shelter is a great place to start!
