If there are no dogs in Heaven, then when I die I want to go where they went. -Will Rogers
We give dogs time we can spare, space we can spare and love we can spare. And in return, dogs give us their all.
It's the best deal man has ever made. -M. Acklam

 | We have chosen Kuranda dog beds for our boarding facilities because they are so good for our dogs. We still don't have enough for all of our kennels. If you would like to donate a bed so another dog can sleep in proper comfort, please click here. |

News
Black Dog Syndrome. Did you know that black dogs are routinely overlooked when people come to shelters to adopt a dog. No one is sure why, but it is a well known syndrome in all animal shelters. Take a moment to watch little black puppies at play, so happy and loving, they don't know that no one wants them. Please help us make their dreams come true. Adopt a black dog today!NEWS UPDATE #2
The Telecom Pioneers were at the shelter again today and built a roof over the last 3 pens. We also installed a commercial size stainless steel sink with 3 huge sinks. How wonderful it will be to be able to wash puppies and not have to lean over the tub! Then we installed shelves over the tub and over the washer and dryer. If that were not enough we installed a new attic door/stair. I did not think that we could top was had already been done, but somehow it happened! This roof changed the look of the entire place!
Volunteers are desperately needed to help clean and to walk and socialize the dogs. They really do love to get out and walk and it helps them stay healthy, too. They are happy to let you know how much they appreciate the attention! And it is good exercise for us. So, give Martha a call at the shelter Tuesday through Saturday 1:30p-5:30p and she will be happy to sign you up. UPDATE August 2009 We continue to work with rescues all over the US to help us find forever homes for puppies and dogs. Since we began this amazing venture in September 2008 we have placed over one thousand puppies and dogs with rescue. Those lucky babies are now living the lives every dog and puppy deserves.
