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!!!

Neutering a cat lengthens its life expectancy by 2 to 3 years.
