COVID ADOPTION PROTOCAL 

Please note during these COVID times we are limiting the number of people in the shelter at a time. We are asking that masks be worn inside. We request that only adults that will be signing the adoption contract come inside, no children or teens please (please have a responsible adult stay with the children while you are inside looking) We can bring a dog outside for the entire family to view, plenty of open space for that. We will make exceptions for a cat or kitten and allow a family into the getting to know you room after the adult in the family has chosen a particular cat/kitten they think will work for their family. There are hand sanitizers throughout the shelter for your use. I know it is not fun waiting in line to see the animals, but remember this has all been extremely trying for our staff these past several months. Thank you for understanding, we are just trying to keep everyone involved safe. By observing this protocol we have been able to remain  open while keeping potential adopters and our staff safe while being able to save 1,500 animals lives during this period. Thank you

Tribute to Animal Shelter workers & volunteers & those that support these efforts

Sandi O'Brien made this video a few years ago for TLC, and this time of year seems so apropos to replay it, as it is as true today as it was then.  So many animals have been saved because you saw the need and you showed you cared!

When you watch this video remember YOU are a very important part of these efforts to save the lives of so many animals!  Beautiful companion animals that have no way out, there wouldn't be any future for them, if we didn't step in to help.  YOU are the backbone of these efforts!  Without your support we could not do what we are doing to save so many animals here and those coming from remote areas where adoptions are few and far between.  YOUR caring and generosity has enabled us to help abandoned, abused, and neglected cats and dogs, receiving the care that they need while awaiting their forever homes.  Thank you seems so little to say for all that YOU have done, but I am sure when you watch this video, you will realize how important you are to every animal that has been saved.......
