Ardmore Animal Care, Inc. Animal Shelter is the animal shelter and education center for Ardmore and the surrounding communities. Humans are the ones who domesticated animals in the first place; we have an obligation to ensure their well-being. When the public fails to do that, the animal shelter must take over the responsibility. We are like child protective services, the police department, or the fire and rescue units. We exist because of people. Ardmore Animal Shelter promotes the humane treatment of all animals and receives 6,000 - 7,000 homeless or unwanted pets per year. Our shelter can house over 250 animals. On any given day there are over 200 animals residing at the shelter, most available for adoption. When you adopt a pet, you not only get a best friend, you save a life. During the year, we celebrate events such as National Pet Week and host pet adoptathons, carnivals, vaccination clinics, and obedience and agility classes.
