More about this shelter

Our mantra has always been protecting people from the dangers and nuisances of uncontrolled animals and keeping animals safe from mistreatment and abuse. Promoting, motivating and enforcing responsible pet ownership is our number one goal.

Contrary to the "limited admission" philosophies of some shelters for companion animals, our shelter has an open door policy. We turn away no animal, regardless of health, temperament, age or condition. Unfortunately, this does not enable us to place every animal in a new home. In reality of course, not all of the animals we take in are good candidates for placement. The sad fact remains however, that many otherwise healthy animals never get adopted because there aren't enough families who want them.

Our philosophy is to keep working at the root causes of pet overpopulation and irresponsible pet ownership - to provide alternatives to indiscriminate breeding of pets, to encourage people to become better pet owners and to make our community a better place for both people and animals.

What we value...


•A balance of enforcement and education promoting responsible pet ownership
•Homes for animals that are free from mistreatment and abuse
•Better communications, cooperation and tolerance among neighbors
•To live peaceably without suffering the nuisances and dangers caused by others' pets
•Pride in vital service we render to the community
•The difference of beliefs about the place animals have in our society
•Sensitivity to the high emotions which accompany animal problems
