Converse Animal Shelter Incorporated (CASI) is a non-profit organization begun in 1979 on land donated by George Ammermann. Former Mayor John VanVoorhies appointed Sue Schones to be the chairman of the Animal Shelter Committee. Using donations, Sue, along with a team of volunteers worked hard and completed the shelter in 1982.

Since September, 1985, approximately 15,000 helpless, abandoned, sick and lost animals have been cared for at this facility. The goal of the shelter is to provide the City of Converse with a humane facility to deal with animal problems. To do this, the animals are fed, sheltered, rehabilitated, spayed, neutered, given their shots, worming and heart-worm treatments. The shelter also has an adoption program which finds good homes for the animals.

The Converse Animal Shelter is always in need of volunteers. If you would like more information about the Shelter, or would like to help, please call or go by to see them.
