Each day starts out by giving the shelter a thorough cleaning, exercising the dogs in the play yard and giving and medical treatment needed. Someone is always busy answering phone calls and helping visitors. Keeping track of lost and found animals, assisting potential adopters, and answering a wide variety of animal questions are just a few items on each day's agenda. Some days are busy transporting animals to and from the vet hospitals where the animals are vet-checked, given vaccines, heartworm or leukemia tested, and spayed or neutered. 

Matching animals to new loving and permanent homes is CASI's number ONE mission. Other activities include grooming, feeding and providing one-on-one attention to each dog and cat in the shelter. This is where volunteers are always needed! The shelter grounds, buildings and kennels constantly require maintenance. Behind the scenes at CASI, volunteers are continuously planning fund raising and adoption events.  These events include twice monthly PETSMART adoption clinics, bake sales, a yearly Christmas stocking fund raiser, pet photos with Santa, Arbor Day, booths set up at various cat and dog shows, a yearly Pet Fair, shot clinics and more! Educating the community is very important to CASI and we strive to do this at all events.

The shelter’s goals are to provide the local area with a humane facility in order to care for unwanted, abused and abandoned animals until such animals can be placed in suitable adoptive homes. To impress upon all members of the community the fact that the acquisition of a companion animal represents a ten to fifteen year commitment; animals are not disposable commodities. To educate members of the community in what constitutes responsible pet ownership, emphasizing the benefits of the spaying/ neutering of animals and providing information in pet care, training and maintenance. 

Pets, as living and feeling entities, represent a facet of our society for which its citizens are totally responsible. A community showing compassion and responsibility for its animals represents a society which extends these attributes to all of its members. When someone abandons a box full of puppies or kittens along the roadside, we’re the ones who take them in, treat their fire ant bites and injuries and feed them. Our animal shelter is dedicated to the humane and loving treatment of strayed and homeless animals. We are a non-profit organization operating on donations from caring individuals, businesses and friends. We use donations to pay for dog food, cat food, and special diets for kittens, puppies, and sick animals, surgery, vet care, immunizations, worming and medicines. We ensure the animals we adopt out are healthy and protected against diseases. 

A complete record is kept of lost or found animals, as well as people who have a special animal they want or those who want to place an animal. Every effort is made to match up owner to animal for lifetime companionship.
