 | Our animal shelter is a great resource for families and individuals interested in adopting a pet. All of our resident animals need a new home. Some of our friends were found abandoned, or were brought to us by owners who had unrealistic expectations about the time and effort needed to continue a long-term relationship with their pet. Unfortunately national statistics show that nearly 50% of all animals in shelters are euthanized due to the lack of homes. |
Save a life and make a new friend.

Before you commit to adoption, please contemplate the following:
|
- When choosing a pet, please consider the life span of the animal in question; dogs and cats live between 10 and 18 years, making them a long-term commitment
- Pets require training, regular health checks, and the occasional vaccination
- There is a continual financial commitment associated with pet ownership; hidden costs are associated with the purchase of food, leashes, collars, litters, toys and licenses
- Some pets in shelters have troubled pasts; please be aware that they may initially exhibit negative behaviors such as biting, chewing, scratching, or house soiling - most behaviors can be corrected by proper training
Proper care is needed for an animal to lead a happy life.
