King Leo (above) was brought to our shelter after sustaining serious injuries. 

On average, we have around 60 cats and 20 dogs to care for while they wait to find new homes and families.  These numbers may fluctuate but the one constant is this:  there is always another cat or dog needing our help.  Many of these cats and dogs are with us for months and even years because we are committed to caring for them until we can find them suitable homes.  We are asking for your help so that we may continue to provide a safe haven for pets in need until they find a new place to call home!

Porky (above) was brought to our shelter after he was found sick, hungry and left to fend for himself in the middle of winter.   

The operating expenses of the shelter run between $10,000-$12,000 each month! This includes care for animals, medical supplies, staff costs, insurance, rent, water, kitty litter, cat and dog food, etc.  We rely substantially on your generous donations to keep our doors open! 

Punkin (above) is one of several cats brought to our shelter that need vaccinations and other vetting services.    

Donating is easy!
