New Shelter Construction Begins October 2nd!
There is going to be a lot more action around the shelter, so please use our website as much as possible for your needs, such as purchasing rabies tags. Always make an appointment to visit the shelter to help keep the area clear for our dogs and volunteers outside. Learn more about the shelter expansion.
