Check out our sister brand, Kinship, for vet chat, a nutrition calculator, basic obedience training, and (much) more. So you're never flying solo in this pet parenting thing.
We are by appointment once an adoption application has been approved. Some of our pets are in foster care, so those meets are scheduled by appointment as well.

More about this shelter
We are an open-admission, county-run dog shelter that takes in dogs who are stray, surrendered or confiscated. We do partner with other shelters to take transfers whenever we can help. We investigate animal cruelty for all species, and rely on the assistance of other organizations if we have to confiscate any animal that cannot be housed in our shelter.
