Overview

Help us save lives.

We want to continue to be able to help those pets that are being turned away from animal shelters. These pets are typically old, sick, unattractive, or are victims of bad timing when shelters are full.

We want to continue to be able to help those pets owned by low income and otherwise disadvantaged pet owners, who can't afford the rising veterinary fees to spay/neuter their pets, or to deal with emegency or chronic medical costs.

We want to continue to address pet overpopulation by providing TNR (trap, neuter, return of feral cats) or spay/neuter and re-homing services.

We want to continue to be able to offer our pets high quality foster homes, supplies, transportation, and adoptive services. Quality of care and quality of life are important for our pets in transition.

Community Benefit

Pet lovers are everywhere, and our community is one that values good pet care and happy pets. High value is placed on knowing that there is a service in the community that is accessible 7 days a week, proactive, professional, and has the funding to deal with situations that other animal welfare services turn down. It is important to our community to know that an old cat or dog will receive the best medical and emotional care while it is in transition, and has a very good chanceof finding a new home for the rest of their lives. Every day we are thanked by community members for the work we do, and we thank them for supporting us in many ways.
