About Us:
We socialize, bath, clean up after the adoptable animals. When their "time" runs out, we try to either get them into reputable rescues or take them in to our own foster care. Animal Control has only 5 runs, the rest of the animals are housed in cages with cage bottoms. Blankets, chew toys (not rawhide), balls, treats can all help chase away the boredom and fear. The building was built in the early 1970's and is in need of major overhaul to become an Adoption Center rather than Holding cells until euthanasia.
