Meet our Pet of the Week!
From cute and cuddly to energetic and snuggly, we have up to 100 cats and six dogs at the shelter at any given time. Each week we select one of our many adoptables and share their quirks with you on the Pet of the Week page and on social media. This week’s Pet of the Week is Immanuel, a handsome five-year-old, who is waiting in our open concept cat room to meet his forever family.

Plan ahead and do NOT leave pets or people in parked cars
Summer is in full swing across the country, and that means that leaving pets, children – anyone – in a parked car makes them susceptible to heat stroke, brain damage and even death. Even if the window is cracked and you’re parked in the shade, the inside temperature of a vehicle becomes too hot too quickly for anyone to withstand. Keep your human and furry friends safe by not leaving them in the car.

Meet our adoptable cats and dogs!
Our open concept cat room helps our animals’ personalities shine! After our pets have had their health checked, are vaccinated, dewormed, microchipped, spayed or neutered, tested for feline leukemia and have had bloodwork completed, they are socialized in our main cat room. They live here at the shelter until their forever family comes to meet them! As we get to know our animals’ quirks and habits during their stay, we are able to match them with the right fit based on lifestyle and personality. These cats and dogs are waiting patiently for a second chance at a forever family!
