We are an all-volunteer, no-kill, non-profit animal shelter formed in 1986 to find homes for the dogs, cats lost within our city limits. We are a California non-profit 501-C3 corporation # 33-0192138 so all donations are tax-deductible.
We are always in need of volunteers and have many areas in which you can share your talents. Please attend one of our volunteer classes to get started. More information is available on our website. **We are temporarily holding volunteer orientations on a limited basis - please email us for details**
Since we subsist solely on donations, your support is greatly appreciated. Please visit our website to make a donation and to read our "wish list."
