  • About Us

    Our mission is to save the lives of abandoned animals in our care, protect animals from cruelty, reunite lost pets with their owners, protect people and pets in our community from health-related issues and ensure the public’s safety. You can help by becoming a pet foster parent. As a pet foster parent, you can help save a life by caring for a cat or dog in your home until it is ready for adoption. Pet foster parents receive the training and supplies needed to help keep the animal healthy and socialized until it is ready for adoption. You can foster a pet for one week or several weeks, depending on the pet and their needs.
