We are a non-profit organization which receives no government or municipal financial assistance. We rely solely on the generosity of the public and corporations to help us with our daily needs.

Our website is updated daily with pictures and descriptions of all adoption animals, which has helped us to decrease the amount of time an animal is waiting at the shelter before they find their "forever" new home.
