The
greatest need for the animals is donations from you!
We
have outgrown our shelter and are very limited on the resources we would like
to offer the community. By donating to the shelter and organizations like
B.A.R.K.- we can work towards building a new shelter and resource center to
include quarantine rooms for sick animals and discount services for
spay/neuter, vaccination, microchipping, etc. Please help us better serve you
by donating today!
WE NEED NEWSPAPER!!!

Did you know there are some foods that are harmful to your pet? If your pet

become ill if they are fed large amounts of milk.
There are more than 100 different breeds of domesticated cats.
Cats scratch to mark their
territory.
Neutering a cat lengthens its life expectancy by 2 to 3 years.
Did you know?
That if your animal runs
at large and cause an accident to occur you as the owner can be held
responsible for damages and injuries.
Chewing can help reduce a
dog’s barking.
Placing a treat in a toy will encourage your pet to play with it.
