♥️Expanding Planned Pethood in 2025♥️

Our Shelter, like thousands of shelters nationwide, has been struggling to keep pace with the critical need for affordable spay/neuter in our community.

Animal Balance is an international organization now providing their Mobile Animal Surgical Hospital (MASH) program in the US, in response to the reduction of spay/ neuter services since the pandemic.

Together at two recent clinics this year (August and November) we were able to spay or neuter 394 local animals in three days! This re-imagination of our Planned Pethood program which will continue in 2025 is going to make a HUGE difference in our community.

Many animals, like Sloth, come to the shelter with extraordinary medical needs which must be met before an adoption is possible.

The Extra Mile Fund was created to help the Shelter serve these neediest animals. It can only continue to do its life-saving work by being
replenished with generous donations from our community.

Meet Sunrise! She has been hanging out in a foster home with her littermates learning that the world is not so scary and is now back at the Shelter in kennel K13. Her foster reported: “Sunrise. This kitten is quite a character with her fuzzy ears making her resemble Einstein. She is curious and loves to explore her world. Although she doesn’t have much time for snuggles with her busy exploring schedule, she does like a good ear and chin scratch. She is a very sweet little kitty.”

From 10/5 through 10/31, we are having a “Spooky Low Adoption Fees” promotion. All cats, kittens, dogs, and puppies will have a reduced adoption fee of $31, while small animals will have a fee of $13. No tricks, all treats!
