The Isle of Wight County Animal Shelter is an open-intake facility serving roughly 316 square miles of our county. We accept strays, quarantines, bite cases, trapped animals and owner surrenders for all Isle of Wight residents. We are staffed with 4 full time Animal Control Officers, 1 full time kennel attendant (myself) and 2 part time kennel attendant. We have 40 dog kennels and 70 cat cages (to include feral cages). When staff/time is permitted, we will either host or attend adoption events with our available animals for adoption. Since we are an open intake facility, we can not turn away our residents animals but we do everything we can to keep our euthanasia rates as low as possible. We aim to achieve that by promoting adoptions, events, social media outreach, fostering, transferring to rescue groups and over all good animal husbandry. I as a kennel attendant aim to make this rural shelter something that people will want to travel from other areas to visit. We are in the "country" and work very hard to promote constant foot traffic to maximize adoptions. Our biggest issue is having something (other than facebook) that is user friendly and we can share with all of our followers. Not everyone has access to facebook and we want to increase our outreach. My favorite part of my job is building the gap between the community and the stigma of being a facility that is sometimes forced to euthanize. We often refer to ourselves as "low kill" because it is something we believe strongly in.
