| Welcome to the Bell Area Animal Shelter website. Please take a look and see if you find someone you have lost or someone you would like to make a member of your family. We dedicate our lives to helping all the lost or unwanted souls that come our way a safe, loving, responsible, happy home. "Until one has loved an animal, a part of one's soul remains unawakened." |
| Directions to our shelter: Coming from Temple exit the Main St exit and take a left at the stop sign and follow the frontage road, you will see a cash and carry carpet place, and we are just down from that on the right. Coming from Killeen exit IH 35/ TX-317/TX-436/Connell St exit onto frontage road then turn right on the frontage road by the cash and carry carpet place and we will be just down from that on the right. |
| A pet is a lifetime commitment and adopting should never be done on impulse. Do your research and a lot of soul searching. Yes, there will be joy, love and highs. But there will also be periods of lows & frustration. Every adult animal in a shelter was once a puppy or kitten that someone thought they couldn't live without. Now they are abandoned and left to die while more puppies are being adopted. If you are not prepared for living with and committing 10-15 years to your new family addition, do not adopt. PETS ARE NOT DISPOSABLE. |

| Bell Area Animal Shelter A Limited No-Kill Facility |
"An animal's eyes have the power to speak a great language." -Martin Buber |
We are in need of: Dog Food & Cat Food (wet or dry) Washcloths Towels * Any and all donations are greatly appreciated * |
| Please Understand : We have had several people call and want to surrender there animal(s) to us. If you are familiar with our shelter you know that we charge a surrender fee just as every shelter does. We are tired of being cussed out - yelled at - and told we are worthless and that we shouldn't call ourselves animal lovers due to the fact that we charge a fee. Well, for those of you that are not familiar with us, this is how we work, the fee that you pay is minimal compared to the aftercare of the animal(s) . I (Jennifer) pay for the care of the animal(s) out of my pocket litterally. The City, County, nor the State give us funding for food, water, litter, treats, bedding, toys, or income for the 2 employees I have. So, if I offend anyone trying to explain this, it is not my intention. I am simply wanting you to undersatnd why we have the procedures that we do. Thank you to the community for all of your continued support and to everyone that has donated here at our shelter either by taking time out of your busy schedules to volunteer with us, or by donations of food, toys, cleaning products, newspapers, sheets, towels, or blankets. It is greatly appreciated by all us here at the BELL AREA ANIMAL SHELTER . Jenny & Haley Furry Friends |
