Our mission is to foster the human-animal bond. Our means of preventing animal suffering is to educate, to help individuals and families to adopt, and spay and neuter their pets. We rely entirely on public support and donations. We receive no government support. We are open admission shelters and can accept animals that may be turned away by other organizations. We work together to manage the pet overpopulation in your local communities. We investigate animal cruelty cases including commercial breeding operations, hoarding and animal abuse. We offer dog training, animal behavior information and educate adults, children and community groups about proper animal care so that each family pet can be a successful lifetime companion.
