•SHELTER UPDATE Our dog kennels are, unfortunatley, FULL. We are making a plea to animal owners to make sure your animals are microchipped, licensed or wearing name tags, in case they get out and are impounded. Reconnecting you with your animal is much easier with these IDs. Also, please check fencing or gates on your property. Unfortunately, we cannot accept new animals due to pet owners not claiming their dogs in a timely manner. Also, over the past several days, many animals have been impounded. We need owned dogs recently impounded to be picked up ,as soon as possible. Fostering is also a big help, and interested parties can can find information about our Foster Program and the Foster applicaion HERE: FOSTER INFO Check out our adoptable dogs, and if you are interested in one (or more!) , fill out an online ADOPTION APPLICATION and a staff member will contact you and make arrangements for you to meet the dog(s).

• PLEASE READ! We discovered during the Covid crisis and subsequent restrictions for businesses, that curtailing visitors in the kennel areas reduced over-stimulating the dogs, and thus, they were lessed stressed and behaved better in the kennels. Also, there was a decline in sicknesses/medical treatments, and the dogs were able to get the much needed 12 to 16 hours of sleep they require. If you see a dog you’re interested in, we RECOMMEND MAKING AN APPOINTMENT for a meet and greet. Appointments are highly appreciated, but walk-ins can be accommodated depending on the staff's workload. If you are a walk-in, please be patient and staff will assist you as soon as possible. Click on the links below to see our adoptable animals, then be sure to pre-fill out the Adoption Application by clicking on the FORMS LINK BELOW. Call 467-6453 to schedule an appointment. Appointments will be scheduled for up to 60 minutes.

•Feral Cat Intakes: We ask that anyone wishing to surrender a TRAPPED FERAL CAT please contact the shelter, (before you trap the cat) at 463-4427 or 467-6453 and PRIOR to bringing a cat or kitten to the shelter. We will try to schedule a date/time in the near future to accept the animal. Please remember we only accept feral felines in traps and only one cat per trap. We offer free spay and neuter for feral cats IF you will return the cat to the location it has been living at. An altered feral will keep your rodent population under control!
