Why Adopt from Us?

We provide exceptional guidance in helping you to select the right pet for you and your family. Our Shelter Director knows each animal "personally" and will get to know you too! This way, we create the best fit for both the new owner and the animal. Our ultimate goal is to match the right animal with the right "forever family".

Our animals have been thoroughly screened. Every animal receives a complete medical evaluation when they come to us, and many come with previous veterinary records which are forwarded to the new owner. All cats and kittens over 6 months of age are spayed or neutered, vaccinated against rabies and distemper, and screened for FIV and FELV, in addition, all felines are de-wormed and de-flea'd. Dogs and puppies over 6 months of age are spayed or neutered, vaccinated against rabies and distemper, and are screened for heartworm. In addition, our dogs' behavior and temperament is professionally evaluated by our trainer. Every dog has a "report card" which highlights the animal's personality and some considerations for a new owner. To help you find the best fit, we advise you on categories like energy level, leash manners, how they react to children, cats and other dogs. Each animal that is adopted from our shelter goes home with a free bag of Science Diet pet food.

When adopting from us, space is created to save more homeless animals that are waiting to come into our shelter. Experience the joy of saving a life while gaining a loving companion!
