We have a serious need for the following:
PLEASE CALL before bringing us an animal. We will not accept animals that have a history of attacking or aggression. There are some dog breeds that we do not accept as surrenders.
We have some beautiful dogs and cats that need good homes. They all have their own unique personalities and behaviors. They all want homes and are looking for the right person to love them.
We have Kittens !
We will not be having a yard sale this year.
Thanx to everyone that donated the fence Thank You Mr. Pillsbury, Gailen Parker.

*ANNOUNCEMENTS*
We are trying to build a addition, So that we can have more room for the animals and make a medical room to do low cost spay and neuter. We have half the money we need 2,500 more if you want to help call the shelter for details
Our prices have changed do to new state mandates. Cats are now $80 and Dogs are now $150. Both of these prices include a deposit insuring that the animal will be fixed.
PLEASE never approach a stray or injured animal. They can be dangerous. If you find one please call your local police or animal control officer. Sick, injured, and stray animals can get frightened easily. If you try to tame one or pick one up you are putting yourself and your loved ones at risk.
Please do not go into the fenced part without an employee. This area is for the animals to exercise in and for them to have one on one time with the employees. Thank you for your cooperation.

Each week a pet (or pets) will be listed in this section to help it find a home. The only way to find out more information on these animals is to call their contact number. The Shelter does not have them nor does it know all the details about the animals.

We also educate the importance of responsible pet ownership like spay/neutering, microchipping, tattooing, and licensing. Any cat or dog that is adopted from us gets a refund when you get them fixed.
