Phase 2 of the original shelter compound called for the eventual building of a barn. When a local animal lover left Animal Control a generous endowment, that was enough to get the ball rolling. ACAC now has the architectural plans, but will depend on donations to finish the building. You can help by going to the website of the Amador Community Foundation and selecting Amador County Animal Shelter from the Fund list. The barn will house larger animals who find themselves homeless because of emergency evacuation, escape or seizure. Your generosity makes a difference in our community.
