The Huntington Cabell Wayne Animal Control Shelter made room for its dogs and cats to stay inside during the freezing temperatures this week.

Scott Iseli, director of the shelter, said every pet owner should bring in his or her pets during the extreme temperatures.

“We brought all of our animals in during these cold temperatures, which was a total of 10 dogs that were outside in the barn,” Iseli said. “We are asking everyone to bring their dogs in during the evening if they can. If they can’t, use wood chips or straw during these cold temperatures.”

Iseli said pet owners should check their animal’s water and make sure dogs who have to stay outside have a warm doghouse.

According to the shelter’s website, it promotes animal adoptions and facility improvement through positive change, community involvement and education.

The shelter is always in need of supplies such as dog and cat food, newspapers, collars, leashes, bowls and litter boxes. The shelter also needs volunteers to walk the dogs, feed the animals and clean the kennels.
