My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Meet this sweetheart named Abby! She and her brother Cullen came into the shelter March 12, 2024 when their owner could no longer keep them. Abby came in with some lumps and a little skin irritation but is on the mend and can have them removed. She’s a happy girl who has been a saving grace for her younger fur brother Cullen (came in scared and unsure of shelter life). She loves a ball and often doesn’t want to drop it. She loves to cuddle and soak up all the loving one has to share. Just a sweet and deserving pup who needing a nurturing, fun FOREVER home to enjoy her golden years being a spoiled and pampered pooch. She is 8 years old (don’t let age fool you she has A LOT of pep in her step), current on shots, and excited to meet you. Maybe you have the most perfect loving FOREVER home for Abby?! Visit with her today and see if she’s the perfect pup for you?

More about this shelter

We are a non-profit orginization relying on donations. We do have a contract witht the county to provide shelter for strays brought in. We have limited space but try to get our animals back to thier families and if that can not be accomplished we work hard on finding them new homes.
We do what we do because we love animals. We are realistic in in efforts, understand the problem and work towards educating the public on what needs to be done to prevent over population.
