Join us for our 2nd Annual Clear the Kennels Event on August 15th from 10:00 AM to 3:00 PM!

Come out, meet some amazing adoptable pets, and help us make a difference in the lives of animals in our community.

We’ve had a few incredibly successful adoption events over the past few weeks, and our hearts are so full! Seeing all of these happy faces find their forever homes reminds us why we do what we do. We’re hoping to keep this amazing momentum going into our upcoming events and continue finding loving families for the animals in our care.
