For many years, a very few dedicated animal-lovers held fund-raising events. Their dream was to one day build a No-Kill Shelter for unwanted and misplaced animals. So every animal has a chance to live.
Their dream came true when the Shelter opened its doors in June 1997.
Operating expenses are kept to a minimum as the Shelter is operated primarily by volunteers and a few paid employees. Our Shelter Director works tirelessly, with no compensation.
There are no holidays– animals must be fed and kennels/cages must be cleaned daily. Our job is to take in unwanted animals, but more importantly, it is to find them good, loving homes. Since our opening in 1997, we’ve found homes for over 97% of the animals that come to us. Most shelters struggle to achieve a 15% adoption rate; you can see why we are so proud of our success.
In 2007, we added a Surgery Room to spay and neuter our animals in our shelter before they are adopted. It has also enabled us to offer a Low-Cost Spay and Neuter Program, to help with overpopulation and help us prevent unwanted kittens and puppies who often die of starvation, disease or neglect. The lucky ones are brought to a shelter (which are many times overloaded with neglected animals.) At the end of 2013 we had spayed/neutered 4,897 animals since beginning the program.

Support adoption and rescue. Why go to a dog breeder, cat breeder or pet store to buy a dog or buy a cat when you can adopt?
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.
