We perform many various tasks on a daily basis including: care and shelter for impounded animals, canine and feline adoptions, the capture of stray and running at large animals and livestock, welfare checks and calls for service regarding animals within town limits, and assisting and educating the members of the community to create a stable and safe environment for animals and humans alike.
A large part of what we do is placing animals if forever homes. We have outside adoptions at businesses around town and participate in adoption events. Our main event is Woofstock Pet Expo & Adoption Festival. The date for our 2018 event is September 22, 2018 at the Edgewood Soccer Field.
