EVENTS
We recently had a large volume of dogs come into the shelter. We are getting many of these babies homes and finding some wonderful rescue groups that have worked with us to find these guys loving homes. Special thanks to all of these special people for their time and efforts to help us save these babies. You guys have been wonderful!!
ALL of our animals over 6 months of age are altered before going to their new homes. Animals under 6 months will require a deposit of $40.00 until we receive verification of spay/neuter Through this program we hope to encourage the importance of responsible pet ownership and the prevention of unwanted litters.
We now have a pre-application for many of our pets. Please be prepared for a 48 hour wait for us to check references.
