This page is designed to find loving homes or rescue for the countless number of unwanted/stray animals in the county. Your support and help is greatly appreciated!

We have a 14 kennel shelter with 819 sq miles and population of 60,000 people with 7-10 pets per person, with many strays and owner surrenders.... There is no where to house them nor support their care on the budget we are given, or any budget. We are too small of a shelter to be accepted into a grant program, so we search day in and day out for a place for them, we beg, we plead and most importantly we try to keep everyone informed so they have an opportunity to make a difference where we cannot, our volunteers and supporters make such a huge deference for these furbabies. You may donate below if you would like to help get a larger facility.
