We are a 501c non-profit organization. All of our members are volunteers, who share a common love of animals. In October 2003 our local animal shelter announced they would no longer handle adoptions of the homeless animals bought into the shelter. We worked with the county of Muskegon and eventually took over the adoption program for the shelter. Otherwise all animals taken into the shelter would of been euthanized if an owner did not show up to claim them. As part of the agreement with the county we also do the cleaning and feeding of the animals on weekends and holidays.
We also have foster families who take in homeless pets from the shelter to live with them until they can find their forever home.

Additional adoption info
In order to adopt you must first submit an application. Upon approval of the application we will set up an appointment to meet a foster dog or invite you to the shelter to adopt a shelter dog.
You may obtain an application by visting our website
We require all family members and current dogs to meet the pet before adoption. We track the pets progress for the rest of it's life. We always take our pets back if something happens and you can no longer keep your pet. This is why we want to make sure it is a perfect fit right from the beginning!
We do adopt out of state but you must own your home and have a vet reference. We do not ship our pets. You must travel to Muskegon in order to meet them.
We do NOT adopt to homes with unaltered pets. No exceptions.
