Our mission is to help animals that are lost, abandoned, abused, sick, injured or simply just can't survive on their own. We strive to help in any way we can. We also work to help educate the public about the importance of spay/neuter and the proper care of animals. We rely heavily on volunteers and fosters. We believe animals should be housed in a home with a loving family whenever possible over being in a shelter or kennel situation. Our staff, volunteers, fosters & vets work endlessly to do everything possible to give each and every animal that comes through our doors the love and care they need to properly adjust into a new home and have a long, healthy life.
We require all potential adopters to complete our pre-approval application. Our adoptions are not first come, first serve. We review applications and choose the best home for each of our animals. Adopters must also agree to and sign a Transfer of Ownership Agreement at time of adoption. This form will be provided when animal is transferred to their adopters.
