Our goal is to end pet abandonment and homelessness through community outreach, education, and advocacy. 95% of our dogs come in as strays, most abandoned. The other 5% are owner surrenders.
As you can imagine, being a full-time rescue is not a glamorous job. It’s a silent war we are fighting on behalf of the animals, and every day we're motivated by the fact that these animals once belonged to someone.
It is our duty and passion to give these animals the opportunity to live whole and happy lives. We are an all breed rescue organization focusing on dogs, but occasionally a cat comes our way.

We work to find the RIGHT home for each dog not just any home. This may mean it takes a bit longer to place a dog, but it ensures it is the proper fit for you and for the animal.
As our animals come in as strays, we want to ensure they are going to their forever homes.
