About Our Shelter:

We are a no kill animal shelter. We run off of donations. Our founder is Mary Sydnes she begain Save-A-Pet 27 years ago. She begain by saving cans and selling used goods. She ran a thrift store for meny meny years. In the past 27 years we have come along way from the time when Mary would rescue animals spay/nuterthem fix what ever issues they had. Then she would pay to board them. Then after raising enough money she bought property to open the shelter. It ran as a rescue shelter form 84/09. We help as meny animals as possibule. Under our new director his 10 year goal back 2006 was to open a vet clinic on sight. And in dec 2009 that will come true 7 years soner then forseen. It will be a state of the art full service vet clinic. Low cost full vet services open to the public. We will hold low cost shot clincs as well as spay/nuter clinics.

For all aproved military families addoptions are at no charge. We Have cats and dogs. We get birds in from time to time. There are some animals that come in that need exstinsive care to get ready for addoption. We always spay/nutter micro chip and vacanate but some come in needing much more. Like dentals and special vet care. So there may be a animal that we would hope to get more for so for those we ask $300.00. Thankfuly those are not as often as are $95.00 fee.
We do require fenced yards for dogs and that cats are keeped as inside cats. We have a 5 page contract, in that we do state that obedance traning is highly suggested.

Why should you adopt?

Dog adoption and cat adoption saves lives. Adopt a dog or adopt a cat and you'll have a friend for life! What is the difference between adopting a dog, adopting a cat, adopting a kitten or adopting a puppy versus getting dogs for sale, cats for sale, puppies for sale or kittens for sale from a dog breeder or a cat breeder? When someone is breeding puppies or breeding kittens, they are creating new dogs and cats who need homes. Some people are interested in a very specific breed of dog, cat, puppy or kitten and they think the only way to find that specific breed is to buy a dog for sale or buy a cat for sale from a puppy breeder or a kitten breeder. Yet animal shelters are filled with dogs and cats who must find homes. So rather than buying a dog or puppy for sale from a dog breeder or buying a cat or kitten for sale from a cat breeder, we encourage people to adopt a dog, adopt a cat, adopt a puppy or adopt a kitten at their local animal shelter, SPCA, humane society or pet rescue group.
