OUR HISTORY
There is a long history of effort on behalf of pets in the Warren County area, beginning with Homer and Alice Drew who in 1989 formed Animal Welfare Association and began to foster and adopt dogs and cats. From there, other groups joined the effort.
In 2001, a group of animal lovers formed Concerned Citizens for Animal Care of Warren County (CCAC) with the purpose of raising funds to build a shelter to support local pets.
In 2018, the funds necessary to begin the process of building the shelter were raised and work was begun on locating a property appropriate for a shelter.
In 2021, the name of CCAC, the fundraising organization, was changed to Wags & Whiskers, a name that reflects our current mission of building and operating a shelter to serve pets in the Warren County area.
As we move forward, we thank you for supporting our mission!
