The food cannot be left out because it could cause bug or rodent problems, Roy said. Puppies are fed twice a day. The three walls of the dogs' pens are brownish concrete. A gutter lines the front of each row of cages. Most of the dogs perch on thick plastic mats to avoid the water.
Adult cats stay in individual cages, with a litter box and food dishes.
The kittens have a play area that is carpeted, has climbing toys and a long, thick wood stick for scratching. Outside, chickens, guineas, a couple of turkeys and a rooster roam. All have been picked up in various states of poor condition. The space is available, the cost is negligible, so the center maintains the animals. Two live pythons live at the center.
