Our mission is to provide immediate safety and care to stray, abused and abandoned animals. Once we are assured animals are medically sound, we place them in a secure, temporary, no-kill environment. This immediate placement provides all the love and comfort necessary for their well being and allows us to get to know them. Then, we look for "forever" homes that are committed to their health and happiness for the duration of their lives. When we match an animal with a caring person or family, Buddy is truly fulfilling our purpose of lighting the way home.
Our Adoption Process - Before you visit us to adopt an animal be sure that you: Bring family and household members; Bring carrier for cat adoptions; Bring other family canines, along with proof of rabies/distemper, for dog adoptions; If you rent a house, apartment, or condo, bring a copy of the lease/rider which indicates that pets are allowed. Once you are here and have found the perfect buddy for you, you will work with our volunteers through these steps: Fill out an adoption questionnaire; Meet with an adoption counselor; View and select pet(s); Accept and sign contract; Pay applicable fees.
