Montgomery County Animal Care & Control (MCACC) is closely monitoring an incoming winter weather system expected to impact Montgomery County this weekend.
At this time, MCACC plans to be open on Friday from 11:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. for adoptions, reclaims, and services. If weather conditions deteriorate or the storm arrives sooner than anticipated, an early closure on Friday may be necessary. Any changes to operating hours will be communicated promptly. Due to anticipated weather conditions, the shelter will more than likely be closed on Saturday, pending final forecasts and road conditions.
Animal Control Services During Severe Weather
If the shelter is closed on Saturday, Animal Control Officers will prioritize emergency responses within the City of Clarksville, with responses in rural areas handled as conditions allow. Should weather conditions worsen or become unsafe, responses may be limited to life-threatening animal emergencies only.
MCACC reminds pet owners that extreme cold and snow can be dangerous for animals, and encourages the community to take precautions to keep pets safe during severe winter weather.
