Since Saturday March 1, 2025, our shelter documented 189 canines on location. In our continued efforts to find positive solutions for the pets currently in our care we are postponing the intake of canines until Thursday March 7, 2025, after 12pm; unless the canine is sick, injured, or aggressive. Residents are encouraged to sign up for our “citizen hold” program for any found canine in the time frame above.

If you are missing a pet, please visit our shelter in person and complete a lost report. Don’t forget to bring a current photo of your pet to include with your report. Our shelter is open from 9:00am to 4:00pm Tuesday through Saturday. Thank you for continued support- Together we can continue to provide "A Better Way of Life" for the animals in our care - Four Paws at a Time!
