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!
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.
Thank you to our Partners!

We could really use some help!!! Kitten season is early this year and it looks like it's going to be a doozy😿. In the past week alone, we have taken in four bottle babies, four nursing moms with a total of 18 kittens, and 9 adult cats (on top of the cats, kittens, and puppies we already had).
So many of these babies have been sick. One of the moms was an emergency intake with three sick kittens - one poor little guy was so bad we rushed him straight to the vet. Sadly, it looks like he is not going to regain his sight, but he is now safe and fed and is receiving the care he needs. Once he is old enough, he will need to have surgery to remove what is left of his eyes. But he is such a trooper - he has already figured out how to navigate his new digs, including where the food is, where the litterbox is, and where the bed is! His two littermates are in better shape but are receiving medical care for their issues.
See donation link in comments (FB🙄).
It's going to be a long summer! Please - any help, any amount you can provide will be put to good use and help us save lives!❤️
