My story

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

Meet Birger King!
This handsome fella came into the shelter as a stray on November 8, 2025, and when no one came to reclaim him, he began his search for a loving home and the perfect “gotcha day.”
Birger King is a happy, affectionate 5-year-old who loves spending time outside—playing, exploring, sniffing around, and soaking up attention from his human friends. He’s also known to let his voice be heard when he gets excited, adding to his charming personality. He is up to date on his vaccinations and ready for his next chapter.
Birger King would thrive in a home with a fenced-in yard, where he can run and play during the day before settling in comfortably with his family at night. He’s the perfect blend of fun and companionship.
Could your home be the one he’s been waiting for?
Stop by the shelter to meet Birger King today! 🐾❤️

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.
