Our Mission at the Richard D. Klein Animal Shelter is to reduce the number of homeless animals in Cherokee County through public awareness and the provision of adequate sanctuary, to promote adoption of healthy, behaviourally-sound animals, to maintain a sterilization-before-adoption program, and to provide painless euthanasia when necessary.
We service mainly Cherokee County Texas and the surrounding areas but will assist any animals needing help.
We have a large adoption area for viewing a large range of dogs and cats as well as small mammals, livestock and exotics.
