Community Service: An animal shelter would fill a crucial gap in our community where there is a lack of resources or services for homeless, abandoned, or abused animals. An animal shelter allows us to provide a safe haven for animals in need and offer them a chance of reuniting with families or finding loving homes.

Reduce Costs: The animal shelter will help Brantley County reduce the cost to property damage, loss of wildlife, vehicular accident rates, stop the spread of communicable diseases and aid during natural disasters. 

Community Engagement: An animal shelter plays a vital role in our local community by organizing adoption events, educational programs, and community outreach initiatives to promote responsible pet ownership, raise awareness about animal welfare, and encourage spaying/neutering and vaccination programs. 

Facilities and Resources: Our animal shelter should have dedicated facilities designed to accommodate animals with proper infrastructure, including kennels, veterinary clinics, and exercise areas. 

Long-term Care: An animal shelter would have the capacity to provide long-term care for animals until they find permanent homes. Shelter can accommodate animals for extended periods, ensuring animals receive necessary medical attention, behavior training, and socialization while waiting to be adopted. 

Animal Control Service: Rescue organizations offer a great deal of support but are not allowed to pick up stray animals. They may only acquire animals that are relinquished by an owner or obtained from a licensed animal shelter where they can obtain a record of the transaction details.

TNR/Vaccine Programs: The animal shelter would employ a nonlethal strategy for reducing the number of community strays and improving the quality of life for animals, wildlife, and people. It is the fundamental component of healthy animal community, which involves humanely trapping stray animals, spaying or neutering them, vaccinating them against rabies and other diseases, such as feline immunodeficiency virus (FIV), feline leukemia virus (FeLV). canine parvovirus, distemper and canine hepatitis.
