Our Mission
Our Mission is to shelter and care for stray and surrendered animals within our community, prevent cruelty to animals, reunite lost animals with their owners, adopt animals to qualified homes or place them with reputable rescue organizations, and educate the public about responsible animal ownership and population control.

Looking to Adopt?
Appointments are strongly encouraged. We aim to give potential adopters one-on-one care when it comes to adopting their new pet. Some animals are housed outside the facility. Appointments allow us to make sure that the pets are on site for you to meet them. Please fill out an online application. We will notify you when your application is received and call you to set up your visitation appointment.
