“The world is a dangerous place, not because of those who do evil, but because of those who look on and do nothing.”
OUR PHILOSOPHY
A strong commitment to animals and the people in the community allows us the opportunity to assist and educate humans and save and protect animals. Our goal is to raise public awareness to the plight of animals and the beauty of adopting a homeless animal in need of forever loving care.
OUR PROMISE
We carefully screen all of our potential adopters, allowing the best match possible between animal and adopter. All of our animals are spayed or neutered, fully vaccinated and medically treated. We do not discriminate based on breed, age or health status of the animal.
WHY WE DO IT
Our animals come from shelters that frequently euthanize for space, from families who can no longer care for them, and from owners who are terminally ill and need the peace of mind of knowing their beloved pet will be safe and loved. We also accept and place neglected companion animals who are released from puppy mills and need a second chance at a full and happy life.
