Spay & Neuter
Our primary goal is to provide spay/neuter for dogs and cats through various programs.
Sadly, there are more animals than good homes. Our local shelter is full and making difficult decisions daily. Spay and neuter is the humane way to reduce the population of homeless and unwanted animals!
In 2025, we spayed and neutered over 1,500 dogs and cats. We have something big in store for 2026 – stay tuned!
Pet Assistance
We also help the animals and the people who love them through our owner assistance programs, including vaccinations, microchips, pet food, housing, and medical assistance. These programs help people keep their animals at home and out of the shelter.
During 2025 we administered 2,500 vaccines (rabies, feline distemper, and canine distemper/parvo) and microchips to dogs and cats!
Foster & Rescue
And we are working harder than ever to help those animals that are already here and in desperate need of a lifeline through no fault of their own. Because of the support of our donors, we are able to respond immediately when called.
During 2025 we rescued 660 homeless or unwanted dogs and cats, taking them into our pet foster homes and providing them with medical support and love!
There are many ways you can help.
Volunteer, donate, or become a member!
We are an all volunteer 501(c)3 non-profit humane society dedicated to providing spay/neuter assistance, shelter and veterinary care assistance, community education and outreach, and promoting the compassionate care and treatment of animals in our area.
All donations are used for animals in our local area.

Pet News
Here’s a happy story. Someone found a small little Pug on a road and was worried it would get hit. She did everything she was supposed to and this pup has been happily reunited with her family. The finder reported the dog to the shelter (and even the neighboring shelter). She posted on social media. She contacted us. We shared the information. Some people were willing to take her but the finder knew that legally she could not give the dog away or keep it until the owner had an opportunity to reclaim it. And what else was done? The dog was scanned for a microchip. About the same time the vet’s office was providing the microchip number, the owner saw the social media posts. The owner provided proof of ownership and was happily reunited. Pics of the happy reunion.
Remember that we do not have leash laws in our area. Dogs can roam. It’s great to help a dog that appears lost but you cannot just keep it or give it away without following the law. If you find a dog, the first call should be to the shelter. They can tell you what you need to do to help the lost dog and not be charged with theft. Not all roaming dogs have been dumped. Sometimes they are a beloved member of a family.

When this happens, it's usually because the owner only shared it with a small group of people, changed who can see it or it's been deleted.1 CommentsComment on Facebook
