Mission Statement
Our mission is to work to end pet homelessness in Warren County. To this end we will:
-Help lost/found pets find their homes and provide shelter and care for dogs and cats until they find a home.
Spay/neuter/microchip for pet population control and safety.
- Provide community programs that educate for healthy and responsible pet care to keep pets and their people together.
- Partner with other shelters and rescues when in need and collaborate on community programs.
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, land was secured, and our name was changed to Wags & Whiskers to better reflect our mission.. In November of 2021, we broke ground on our new shelter. The ribbon was cut to open the shelter on August 15, 2026, opening our doors to continue our mission of serving the pets and people in our area and ending pet homelessness.
Throughout this process, we never lost sight of our goal and THANK ALL OF OUR SUPPORTERS for cheering us on and continuing to work with us to save more dogs and cats!
