Place rescued animals into permanent adoptive homes or transfer them to other no-kill animal shelters with higher adoption success. 5.

A safe place for animals from all walks of life.

Goal One: Accept all incoming animal requests, leaving no animal without a space.

Goal Two: Increase community awareness and promote responsible pet ownership.

Completed voluntary classes regarding shelter management and companion animal care.

We promote spay and neuters by offering low cost procedure vouchers and our two approved veterinary offices. We also offer low cost pet ID resources to promote successful reunions of pets who've been lost.

We live in a rural area and small town where a lot of the community are older and do not use social media or computers, because of this we place a monthly ad in the local newspaper so that all of the community that does not engage in social media are aware of our organization and efforts.
