We love to see pets and families stay together if at all possible. We encourage you to contact our staff for training advice that can potentially help keep your pet in the home.

Please keep this in mind when choosing to attempt to surrender an animal to us.īefore filling out the surrender form, please understand that we have a limited number of kennels and cages in which to house cats and dogs. Because of this, the majority of the time we will not be able to assist you immediately. We do not euthanatize any of our shelter animals to make space for new animals needing to be surrendered. We are a no kill rescue and our space availability directly depends on adoptions.


All intakes are scheduled by appointment based on open kennel availability.
