We are an independent, non-destroy animal rescue organization whose mission is to offer shelter and care to homeless dogs and cats while working to place them in responsible, loving homes. We have taken in animals from local towns since 1965. When space permits, we also rescue dogs from "high kill" shelters outside our area. Each year we care for hundreds of animals. Some are surrendered to us because their owners died or are in a family crisis. Others are strays or have been abandoned. Many of our dogs come from the regional animal control facility after the state mandated waiting period. From the moment they enter our care, these animals are no longer unwanted. We provide excellent veterinary care, vaccinations, preventative worming, feline leukemia testing, canine heartworm and tick borne disease testing and treatment. We spay/neuter every animal prior to adoption. We have an Emergency Medical Fund to provide care for animals with special needs.
