Dedicated to the care and well-being of homeless and abandoned domestic animals. It is our mission to assist in placement and adoption of rescued domestic animals into permanent homes once spayed or neutered. As well, to further educate the public on the need to spay or neuter pets, responsible pet ownership, and actively encouraging and participating in trap-neuter-release programs in our community.
We are a registered non-profit society that is run entirely by volunteers. Your donations help us save and rehabilitate animals in need. Every dollar counts!
Our animals available for adoption are shown below. You can click on the individual animal to view information about them, and apply for adoption. This section will update automatically as the status of animals in our care changes.
If you would like to complete a general adoption application, please see the buttons below. We use these applications to match incoming pets with families who are waiting for a new furry friend.
