Animal House Shelter

Animal House Shelter Non-profit, 501(c)(3), No-Kill shelter for all breeds of dogs and cats. Over 75,000 pets have been adopted from Animal House Shelter. We need your help!

Animal House Shelter is a non-profit, 501(c)3, no kill animal shelter for all breeds of dogs and cats. Founded in June 2002, AHS takes in and cares for abused, neglected and abandoned animals — especially those scheduled for euthanasia at other shelters. Once rehabilitated and ready, they are carefully matched with prospective adopters and placed in loving homes. Like people, animals have distinct

personalities that make them unique. At Animal House Shelter, we are proud to say that the dogs and cats are treated like our own. We care enough to be certain they are treated with the comfort and respect that they deserve and we make every effort to ensure that they go to the right, forever, permanent, loving home. The best possible veterinary care is always given to Animal House Shelter pets and treatment is never declined if it will give the animal a chance for a healthy life. Socializing and keeping our pets happy is also of utmost importance. Dogs are walked 4-5 times daily and cats are housed in a large, whimsical, free-roam habitat All are given loving care and attention by staff and volunteers. ADOPT, FOSTER, VOLUNTEER, SPONSOR, DONATE! Help us save the lives of over 3,000 dogs and cats every year that will otherwise be euthanized at high kill facilities!

Around here, that “something” usually has four paws, a wagging tail, and the power to make everything better. 💕
