A Time for Giving
So many animals are in need of loving homes and we have been very lucky to have the opportunity to help save them from an uncertain fate. Although we are small and in a more rural area, we were able to find wonderful homes for 138 animals this year because of you.
Many times the dogs and cats are in dire need of medical care, need medications, need spay/neuter surgery, and routine shots. All of this is costly even with a veterinary discount. Please consider making a monetary donation to help us save more! For the cost of 2 cups of coffee we can provide preventative shots for one dog. If every person in our area & network donated just $10 this season we would be able keep rescuing and caring for those who cannot fend for themselves. Won't you help dogs like Peaches, Hank, Brutus,Ritz and little Pancake to name just a few?
We thank you in advance for considering us for your holiday giving!
Adopt!
With the AWESOME pets available, why not consider adopting? MAYBE that special kitty or dog is waiting just for you! More dogs are coming in the near future!
We are open Wednesday through Sunday from 11am till 5pm so feel free to come by. If you want, complete an application in advance and be ready to adopt same day!

Dog of the month
This is Bowdie! He is a very sweet 2 year old Treeing Walker Hound who although is bow-legged, never misses a beat! He loves hugs and kisses and does think he is a lap dog. He enjoys playing outside and is an all around great boy!
Cat of the month
This is loveable Spike! We are shocked he is still with us since he is a sweet boy. Spike loves to pose for pics and enjoys pets and chin rubs. He is a sweetheart!
