The new animal shelter would increase capacity to 66 dogs and 40 cats, while the current shelter at 1601 N. First St. in Copperas Cove only has space for 46 dogs and 12 cats.
Currently the Copperas Cove City Council is considering using city owned property at the intersection of Ogletree Pass and Five Hills Road for the location of the new animal shelter. This location provides the most visibility, is not too close to residential housing, and also offers room for expansion in the future.
