Reach out to us before your pets give birth.

Our My Last Litter Program is aimed to reduce the pet overpopulation problem in this valley. One way we do this is spaying cats and dogs before they give birth. This program is FREE. If your pet has already given birth you can reach out to see if you qualify for our program where we will take the litter of puppies/kittens and adopt them out while also spaying the momma for you. Due to the pet overpopulation in the valley we encourage owners to reach out before their pet gives birth so we can schedule them at our clinic. As we move into spring we know puppy and kitten season is coming and we will be overwhelmed, let’s get ahead of it this year! Head on over to our website to learn more and to contact us.

Blue has been with us since November and she keeps getting passed over for adoption.

This girl is so incredibly sweet! She came in with Freddie (also still available) along with several other dogs from a property that had too many pets that kept multiplying. She was shy when she first came to us but now this gentle-natured girl seeks out human attention. Blue has met several other dogs and has done well but may chase cats. To learn more about Blue and the sweetheart she is check out her bio on our website and apply to adopt her today. Better yet, come down and meet her in person!

Barn home needed.

Matt is one of many cats that has showed up at our facility over the years, likely dumped. We were able to trap him recently and get him neutered. We are now hoping to find him a barn home, we are sure if you ask him it is preferable to us releasing him to live outside our facility again! Matt is an adult cat who we believe might have some Maine C**n in him, he is over ten pounds and very handsome. He will come close to you but is happy to just coexist and not interact. Check him out on our website, apply to adopt him today or call our adoption center for more information on barn cats.

Here are SOME new faces that either came in this week or became available. If you are looking to adopted please go to our website to learn more about the one you are interested in, if they are still available they will still be post. If the animal is no longer available they will no longer be posted. If you are missing a pet please file a LOST report on our website site so we can cross reference with all animals in our facility and animals that come into our facility into the future, we keep these on file for 30 days.

All of our currently available dogs are on our website. Please check there, if the animal is no longer listed it is no longer available. We recommend you you check the website frequently if you are looking to adopt as it gets updated daily as new animals come in or if adoptions fall through.

Baby is growing up in the shelter and loosing his “baby face” let’s find him a forever home before he gets any older!

Baby is an 11 month old Pitbull/Husky mix who has the most adorable ears. The first picture was taken when baby arrived months ago and the second picture was taken a week ago, look at how he has matured! We hate seeing dogs growing up with us, it is so important for them to have structure and consistency of a home environment… Especially at this age. Baby came in with other dogs, one of the being Papas who is still available as well. He has also done meet and greets with other dogs which have gone very well, Baby just wants to play! To learn more about Baby check him out on our website and apply to adopt him today! He would also love a break from the shelter life if you wanted to come in and take him on a day trip!

Nickolas has been with us for over 175 days with no adoption.

We can’t believe it, just look at this handsome boy! Nickolas is so much fun to be around and has a great, outgoing personality. He loves to play tug with people and go on his walks. He is extremely playful with other dogs and hasn’t met a dog he doesn’t like, although some dogs are not too fond of his overly playful nature. To learn more about Nickolas head to our website to read his bio and apply to adopt him today. Please share so we can find this beautiful boy his forever home.

Lincoln is the most adorable tripod puppy!

Lincoln came to us after being hit by a car, he was in rough shape and required one of his back legs to be amputated. Don’t worry, Lincoln is a fighter and he has bounced back quickly. He has met both small and large dogs while with us and has done well, he acts very puppy and just wanted to play with both the big and small dog he met. We so recommend a meet and greet prior to adoption if you have other dogs in your home. He is a very well socialized pup with people and will make someone an amazing dog with a bit of time and basic obedience. Check him out on our website and apply to adopt him today. Come on down and meet him tomorrow if you want as well!

Amazing update on Tank, a beautiful Bully mix.

Hello! I adopted Tank a little over a month ago and wanted to give an update on him because I know he was very loved by a lot of the staff! Tank has adjusted so well and loves his sisters so much! He loves cuddling, playing and just being close to them! He’s such a sweet loving boy and has such goofy quirks that we adore. He’s just a big baby and the sweetest boy. He may be 100 pounds but that doesn’t prevent him from thinking he’s a lap dog lol. He has made himself right at home and was the perfect addition to our little family ❤️

*** Fosters Needed ***

We hate saying no, we want to help every animal… But we are limited by space. When we don’t have foster homes for young kittens, under eight weeks old, we can’t take them. Kittens season is coming and when it does we are going to be swamped! We are looking for Fosters for kittens that are under aged to keep them until they are old enough to be adopted, sometimes this only takes a couple of weeks. All food and supplies are provided along with medical care. The more fosters we have the more animals we can save!

Last week we took in 77 animals and had 56 success stories! We took in a lot of dogs and cats so check our our website t...

Last week we took in 77 animals and had 56 success stories! We took in a lot of dogs and cats so check our our website to see many of the new faces, some are still too young to adopt so they are in our foster homes and will be available soon. Only 13 dog adoptions last week but we hope for more this coming week! Baby is one of our amazing dogs who is hoping to find a home of his own, come on down and meet him in person.

The great updates just keep coming. We love it!

Hello everyone!

I can't believe how time flies! I should have sent this sooner but I wanted to give you all an update on Marigold (Now her name is Maple).

Maple is the most wonderful and beautiful kitten that we could have asked for! She loves playing with all of her toys for hours everyday, she loves her feather wands and chasing all of the springs around.

When we took her into our primary vet for finishing up her vaccines and her check up, everyone in the entire clinic all crowded into the exam room to meet her! She is so friendly and well behaved :) She has even gained over a pound since she has been with us!

One thing that surprised us about her is that she loves to chat and has so much energy! We absolutely love her and she gets along well with the rest of our feline family.

We wanted to say thank you for taking her in and taking such good care of her. I will continue to send updates and lots of cute photos of her :)

Kind regards

Zoey is a sweet senior Boxer looking for her forever home in her golden years and is ready for her second chance at happiness.
