This came up in my memories from 2020, the sad fact is I am sure this number has changed over the 4 years, but not lessened.

We’ve been getting a lot of calls, comments and messages regarding animal control - we understand it can be confusing so we thought we would try and explain some things! PAC & animal control are NOT the same. We are two different entities with two different facilities. Although we share a common goal of helping animals, we serve different purposes.

PAC is a privately funded shelter, which means we do not get any money from our county (we rely solely on donations). PAC’s purpose is to care for & rehome animals in need.

The county’s animal control officer has a different facility and is in charge of enforcing animal-related laws, addressing safety concerns and managing stray or dangerous animals. Our county’s animal control officer is able to foster or adopt animals that go through her facility.

We work closely with our animal control officer and help out in any way we can (if we’re able to). We’re both just doing the best we can with what we’re given.

"May we raise children
who love the unloved
things , the dandelion, the
worms and spiderlings.
Children who sense
the rose needs the thorn
And run into rainswept days
the same way they
turn towards sun…
And when they’re grown and
someone has to speak for those
who have no voice
may they draw upon that
wilder bond, those days of
tending tender things
and be the ones."
