We also have reduced prices for our adult dogs and cats: The adult dog and cat adoption fees are $20.00 until December 31. So, if you are looking for a great adult friend for Christmas, please come by our shelter.
Also this year we are again participating in the Home 4 the Holidays program. We are dedicated to finding qualified homes for our shelter animals so they can have a permanent home this holiday season and for the rest of their life.
