Pet Tips
Caring for your pet, keeping them safe and healthy can not only improve the quality of of their lives but of yours also. Here are a few tips that can help.
Please Help the Animals
They need shelter, food, love and a home. They need your help. You can help to care for our many beautiful and wonderful animals by making a tax deductible donation today. Please help save a life. Thank you for caring.
Do you want to help our animals? You can do so by getting us something from our Wish List. A donation of any of these items greatly helps the shelter. Pick up an item next time you are out shopping or get your business, school or organization to do a collection drive. A representative from the shelter will be glad to stop by and talk to your group. We will also pick-up all the items if needed when the time comes. We always need litter, dry brown cat/kitten food, laundry detergent, bleach, garbage bags and washable toys for our furry friends.
