The Purcell Animal Welfare Division is the Animal Control and Animal Shelter group within the Purcell Police Department. We help reunite lost pets with their owners and help strays find new homes.
How You Can Help
While our budget allows us to provide the basics for the pets we care for, your contributions help us go the extra mile to provide the high level of care these animals deserve. You can help our local animal shelter by donating time, money, and much needed items.

Volunteering
If you are unable to donate but would love to help, the shelter is always in need of volunteers to provide attention to our furry friends through play, affection, and daily walks. According to the Animal Control Supervisor, Louise Zastrow, the shelter provides care for 30 dogs and 25 cats on average daily. Louise also stated “the Animal Shelter staff appreciates our community so much. We couldn’t provide this level of care to our animals without the support of our community. It takes a village!”
