NEXT EVENT:
Volunteers will be having “Meet and Greets” at the shelter every Saturday from 9:00 am until noon. If you would like to check out some nice adoptable shelter animals, this is the perfect time. If you’re not really looking for a pet, but would like to help, this would be a good time to donate any dog or puppy food and cat or kitten food.
Fosters for shelter animals are desperately needed. If you would like to have a pet, but really don’t want to make a lifetime commitment, try fostering. It’s a win, win for you and the animal.
Volunteers are needed to help with cleaning and caring for the animals. Stop in on Saturday and get signed up to help the animals.
Donations for dog, puppy, cat and kitten food are always appreciated for the shelter animals.
The shelter is a “kill” shelter. When at full capacity, animals are killed to make room for the new ones. Adopting from the shelter could save the life of a great pet.
If you have lost your pet be sure to check this page frequently.
