We are a local nonprofit, no-kill shelter located in New Kensington, PA. We care for the abused, abandoned, and stray dogs and cats of Allegheny Valley. Our shelter is run by an all-volunteer Board of Directors and a small staff. We strive to adopt our animals into responsible homes while educating the community on the importance of spaying and neutering companion animals.
