We have 2 pets each Month.
Our dog of the month for July is Chipper. he is a husky mix. Chipper is a very loyal and playfull dog.
Our cat of the month for July is Three Kittens. Merlow, Jack and Clby came to the shelter after their mother died. They were only a few weeks old, so one of our worker took them home and raised them herself. They are very loving, frisky kittens that want to be around people.

We will not be having a yard sale this year.
We are looking for chain link fencing, gates, or pens that are free. This way we can section off our big play area so that more then one dog can be outside at a time. We could really use your 10 by 10 dog pens.
This will enable use to help dogs adjust and build our behavior program. This will also enable us to let more then one dog out at a time.
We have repaired our dog pens and outside gate area, can you believe we built it years ago. Time flys. Thank's to Kenny Corson.p>

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.
