We have many fun, playful, friendly, and well-mannered animals for adoption! We have kittens, puppies, cats, dogs, and a guinea pig! Each one is unique and 🌟 so 🌟 ready for a family of their own. Shelters can be a stressful environment, but we have a great group of staff members, volunteers, dog walkers, and cat cuddlers who strive to make their time in the shelter the best it can be. At the end of the day, our goal is to find them a home. Come to the shelter and find your new best friend. We’re open Tues-Fri from 12-4pm.
