Through programs like volunteering, fostering, our rescue partners, and this Medical Fund. Your donations literally help us save lives!

capital improvement FUND
Our current facility is 24 years old. We take in 1,500 dogs and cats, on average, and that presents a tremendous amount of wear and tear on the building: the walls, the floors, the kennels, etc. More importantly we are saving more lives than ever before, 97% in 2022/2023. To that end our length of stay for every animal in our care has increased tremendously. We can house 44 cats in-kennel and from Jan-Sept 2022 we’ve took in 700. We need an updated, larger space to accommodate the daily operational requirements for those in our care. Please consider a contribution to our Capital Improvement Fund. We cannot continue this important work without YOU!
