Open up your heart and your home to one of the many homeless and abandoned animals. The shelter is currently at capacity with many cats, dogs, and bunnies available for adoption. We are calling on the community to come visit, adopt, and support these wonderful animals. There are many dogs and cats not pictured as many come in daily. Our volunteers try to keep up with the pictures and descriptions, but it is a monumental task. Please come to the shelter to meet your new best friend!

Who We Are

We care for stray and homeless animals, including cats, kittens, dogs, puppies, rabbits and other animals such as chickens, guinea pigs or iguanas. We always hope the family will come to reclaim their lost pet, but is not, we work to find a loving new family for them. We ensure that dogs are current on their rabies vaccination and license. At Animal Services, our goal is to ensure that all the animals in our County have a safe place to live. We work hard to find loving homes for the many dogs, cats, rabbits and other animals that come into our care. Together, with community partners and concerned citizens, we are making sure that all these animals have a "Forever Home!"
