A SPECIAL PLEA: Our organization relies on volunteer foster homes for the animals in our care. We are looking for loving, qualified foster families--especially those who can foster large dogs OR puppies. If you can help, please EMAIL US. We're hoping to hear from YOU!



We operate solely on donations and volunteer efforts. And, yes, it is a challenge.

Do we euthanize animals we cannot place?
NO! Absolutely not! The fact is, there is no animal that we can't place. Animals with disabilities or with chronic behavioral problems remain in foster care indefinitely. Fortunately, these cases are rare.

Where are these animals housed?
After being inoculated and given a clean bill of health, every animal is kept in a family environment. Of course, accommodations are limited, but foster homes provide a clean, safe environment where pets are handled frequently, responsibly and lovingly. Typically, they thrive under these conditions, making socialization and assimilation into a new home overwhelmingly successful.

Do we take unwanted pets?
Typically, no. While needy animals often come in multiples, new homes are carefully chosen...one at a time. Our facilities are usually full of rescues, but we will take photographs and basic information about your pet. Many people are very specific about the animal they wish to adopt. Your pet may be exactly what someone is seeking and we will assist in any way we can.
