General
We provide intake and safe shelter for stray, mistreated and surrendered (when possible) dogs and cats. We promote public education on pet care and overpopulation, and work to place unclaimed animals into loving homes. The well-being of our animals remains our highest priority, supported through vaccinations, health evaluations, and spay/neuter procedures for all adopted pets.
