My name is Blaze!

Adoption fee: $85 for cats and $95 for dogs. This includes spay/neutering, full vaccinations with rabies, de-worming, heartworm tested and preventative.

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.
