While the council agreed that one location (Ogletree Pass) is better than two others, council members also agreed that they would like to see a master site plan of the site to evaluate if the animal shelter would fit in with the previously proposed development of that land, which includes three ball fields and a central concession area.
Councilmen Jay Manning and Dan Yancey primarily raised the concerns about the area, which would be near the intersection of Ogletree Pass and Five Hills Road in the western part of the city.
âI donât think we have that much room out there,â Manning said. âSo, using up what we have is a concern for me.â

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.
