Our dogs and cats love to sleep on Kuranda beds, but we don't have enough for everyone. If you would like to donate a bed at a special wholesale price for a another dog or cat to sleep in comfort, please donate a Kuranda bed.

Who We Are
The current shelter was established in July of 2006 through a great effort on the part of many people. It was designed with the idea to house dogs and cats of various ages and to still have space to carry out the daily activities of shelter life. We have a separate space to do our laundry, to prepare food for the animals and even a space for the ones who are sick to get well.
The shelter is staffed M-F from 8-5 pm and the last Saturday of the month from 9a-1p. We currently have four employees to oversee the daily operations and answer calls when needed. We take great pride in the apperance of our facility and strive to have great customer service. If you need assistance while visiting or see something that needs attention feel free to let one of our staff know. I encourage each and everyone to come down and visit a homeless pet. All of our animals are cared for as if they belonged to us and we would like to find a home for all that is possible. We have a very nice facility and have plans to expand in the near future. We hope to continue to have the support of the community in all that we do!
Adopting a friend
We encourage every person wanting to adopt to come to the shelter and spend some time with the pet you are interested in. After taking time to make an informed decision, all you have to do is sign a spay/neuter contract that states you will have the pet altered in a certain period of time and also provide the pet with a rabies vaccination. Under the new law every pet that is adopted from the shelter is required to be microchipped at a cost of $20 per pet. We currently do not have an adoption fee.
