Mission Statement The mission of Massas Creek Companion Animals is driven by the simple philosophy that kindness to animals helps build a better world for all of us. And the work of MCCA is supported entirely through the donations of our members and supporters. Through the generous hearts and hands of people like you, we can ensure that animals who come into the care of us will never again be alone, hungry, sick, afraid, or in pain. |

Joan Oetting, director of the shelter, has a long history of saving the lost animals of the area,
rehabilitating them, and finding them new guardians. Joan may not be a household name, but she
has many grateful companion animals whose lives she has saved.
In the early 1970's Joan partnered with Carol Perkins, wife of the late Marlin Perkins, to form Open
Door Animal Sanctuary in St. Louis, Missouri. She left Open Door in 1980 because of family
obligations but remained a staunch supporter of the organization. Open Door is now a large self
funded animal rescue. She moved to the Hermann area 1992 and ran a small private animal rescue.
There was not an animal rescue facility in the area and the needs of homeless animals was great and
growing more urgent.
With the number of homeless animals growing by the day Joan opened MCCA in 1999 with the
completion of a new kennel to include nine dog runs, a feed storage room,a dog bathing room, a cat
room and living quarters for an attendant. Another kennel area was built with 12 dog runs and was
completed in 2006.
MCCA also sponsors the Humane Societys' Kind News to 4th grade classes in Hermann, Wright City,
Montgomery City, and Jonesburg schools. We at MCCA believe that if we start teaching kindness and
responsibility at a young age we will create a better world for all forms of life.
MCCA is a non profit 501(c)(3) chartable organization that depends on the generous support of its
members to care for the homeless animals within our reach.
