Country Acres Pet Services Dog Control contracts are for stray DOGS only. Our job is to enforce the Local Dog Control Ordinances and pick up stray dogs. We may often assist in Animal Cruelty in our municipalities, but we cannot enforce Article 26 which is Cruelty to Animals. We have very limited space for cats and can only handle a few at a time.

Country Acres Animal Shelter DOES NOT euthanize any adoptable dog for “space”. Although it is impossible to save all animals due to aggression and liability; We strive to give all of the stray dogs in our shelter the opportunity to become part of a family and have a second chance.

Country Acres Animal Shelter adopts approximately 300 unwanted dogs every year.
