Operating an animal shelter during a Global Pandemic has been a challenge, but we are still here and doing our best to help the people and animals in our community. We have continued to adopt out animals using a foster-to-adopt strategy that has proven to work well! We are also offering other means of support such as low cost vaccine clinics and a low income spay/neuter program. You can help us continue to help animals and the community safely by participating in our online events.
