Help our Corsicana shelter with donations or supplies!
At Furevr, we aim to provide exceptional support to the Corsicana Animal Shelter. With community support, we will get the new shelter that their staff and fur babies deserve.
New Animal Shelter Facility
Urgent Need for a New Shelter
Our community animal shelter is facing a crisis. We are operating at double our capacity, housing over 240 animals in a facility built to accommodate just 120. Due to a lack of space, we are forced to turn animals away daily. The current building conditions are deteriorating, and if state officials were to inspect our facility today, we would likely face immediate closure.
Adding to these challenges, the shelter is located next to a railroad track, causing constant noise and distress for already frightened animals. The extreme Texas weather makes matters worse, as many animals are kept outside due to limited indoor space. Additionally, our understaffed facility is struggling to meet the needs of our animals despite the incredible dedication of Ashley and her team, along with a committed group of volunteers.
A Vision for a Better Future
To ensure the safety and well-being of our animals, we have acquired a new building, 2800 Drane Rd. The property was given to us by the city, but it needs a huge overhaul. The new shelter would provide:
· Increased Capacity:Enough space to accommodate more animals safely and humanely.
· Quieter Environment:A location away from constant noise to reduce stress and improve adoption rates.
· Medical and Grooming Facilities: A dedicated lab for shots and minor medical needs for injured animals and a grooming space to keep them healthy and adoptable.
· Play and Exercise Areas: Safe, enclosed outdoor and indoor spaces where animals can exercise and socialize.
· Shower: For the staff to clean up after a hard day of cleaning the shelter
Community and Veterinary Support
Local veterinarians play a crucial role in our shelter's success. By partnering with our community vets, we can establish an on-site spay and neuter program, eliminating the need for frequent trips to Athens and providing essential services to the animals in our care.
Call for Public and Private Support
We have an outpouring of support from individuals eager to fundraise for this cause. Now that we have the city’s backing, we need to move forward with raising money for the remodel.
Let’s come together to make this vision a reality. Our animals deserve better!

Join us for our annual fundraisers and help us raise funds for our furry friends. From golfing to auctions, there's something for everyone. Come have fun while making a difference!
The shelter always needs help with cleaning, bathing, feeding and walking the animals.
Help us raise awareness about our cause by sharing our mission with your friends and family.
Our vision is to create a shelter where every animal has access to quality living spaces and food in a clean environment until they are placed in their forever home. We are investing in the future of our animals and community.
Raising funds for the new facility will greatly impact our community. We will be able to rescue and place more deserving animals in their forever homes. Last year, the shelter/animal control picked up 478 animals in the city, 97 animals surrendered by owners, 267 strays, 47 were born in the shelter, 95 rescued from the county and released back to owners, 147 strays in the county, 450 rescued and 640 animals adopted. With a facility double the size we will be able to make a much larger impact on our community.
New facility will have an outdoor play area, grooming station, surgical suite, bonding room, dry food storage, isolation chambers, cat condo, cat habitat and kennels for the dogs.
If you purchase a brick for $100.00, it will be on the walkway for the new shelter. You can get a duplicate mini for yourself for an additional $20.00
