We have many community minded programs designed to educate and support our neighbors, including a free pet food bank, a low-cost spay/neuter program, and twice yearly rabies clinics at the shelter.
We are a passionate group of employees, volunteers and fosters working hard to achieve a future where every pet is a wanted pet.
