The Shelter will be closed today. We are experiencing power surges and have shut down all computers, printers, refrigerators, etc. Plus one of our staff had major damage to her property. We will be going out to assist in cleanup. Sorry for inconvenience, we will hopefully be back open Saturday June 20th.

🚨 NAME YOUR OWN PRICE ADOPTION EVENT! 🚨

Our shelter is full, and too many amazing animals have been waiting far too long for a home.

For a limited time, YOU choose the adoption fee for any fully vetted dog or cat. That's right—name your own adoption price!(for approved adopters)

These animals have spent days, weeks, and in some cases months living in kennels. While our staff and volunteers do everything possible to keep them happy and loved, shelter life is hard. The longer an animal stays in a shelter, the more their mental and emotional well-being can suffer.

Imagine spending your entire summer surrounded by block walls and concrete floors, watching families come and go while wondering when it will be your turn. Check out JCAS39.COM for pics and descriptions!

Every dog and cat available for adoption is fully vetted and ready to go home:
🐾 Spayed/Neutered
🐾 Vaccinated
🐾 Microchipped
🐾 Ready for a fresh start
Don't let another summer pass by for these deserving animals.
Hours: Tues-Thur 12-5pm Sat-Sun 12-4pm
