About
The Panhandle Animal Shelter is a volunteer, non-profit shelter which is not affiliated with the county or city and receives no tax support.

Of the 1200 cats and dogs admitted to the shelter each year, nearly all strays will be placed in adoptive homes and several hundred will be reunited with their owners.

The shelter's outreach programs provide humane education, spay/neuter cost assistance and free pet identification & registration.
