Who
We Are
We are a volunteer based organization
working together to provide shelter and care for homeless cats and dogs.
With 23 inside/outside dog runs and accommodations for 20 cats, our shelter
accepts pets from people who are no longer able or willing to care for
them. We also operate a clinic
providing reduced fee spaying and neutering for our
community's dogs and cats.
How
We Work
We are
supported by membership donations, fundraisers, grants and donations from
individuals and businesses
wanting to make a difference.
Our members/volunteer s staff the shelter by helping in the office, answering phones, and showing animals to the public - whom we carefully screen before adoption.
Other volunteers help by exercising, grooming, and spending time with the animals. Some volunteers like to work at our thrift shop selling donated items. We also offer education classes in our local schools, participate in community activities to promote animal awareness, and take dogs and cats to visit senior residences.
What Our Goals Are
* To continue to give shelter and care to owner relinquished animals
* To eliminate pet overpopulation
* To educate the public about responsible pet ownership
* To provide resources for reduced fee spaying and neutering
How
You Can Help
We always
need volunteer members at the shelter and thrift shop, to help with fundraisers,
to serve on committees, and to provide foster homes. Your membership
donation goes directly toward feeding and caring for the animals.
To keep you updated on our activities, you will receive a monthly newsletter.
