Rescue North is in need of funds to run its animal shelter.
The charity organization relies on donations from the public, and recently asked Kenora City Council to partner with them in their shelter endeavours.
Spokesperson Jamie Penny says they need a concrete answer from Council by the end of the month, or they will be forced to shut their doors.
Council has decided to create a committee to look at animal control operations within the city and whether it will partner with Rescue North.
