Dealing with behavior issues?
Please contact a trainer first. Most behavioral issues can be resolved. See our recommended trainer.
Need to rehome?
Please try other options first, especially friends or family you know will give your furry family member a good home.
Need help right away?
Surrender can’t be a same-day decision here. If you must rehome immediately, please reach out to other local shelters and rescues.
If you’ve exhausted other options
Here’s what you need to know about our shelter:
- We are a no-kill rescue, and we generally operate at capacity.
- We can take in animals ONLY when we have space available.
- We’re set up for communal living, so pets must be healthy and up to date on vaccines before we can take them in. For the health of the animals already here, we cannot take in animals without health history.
- We cannot take in strays through our surrender program.
- There will be a wait until room becomes available. Patience is required.
- We require a donation when we take in your pet, to help provide care and veterinary visits. We’re a nonprofit shelter funded only by community donations.
