Meet Your Furever Friend
Our adoptables can’t wait to find their match!
Sebastian
Hola! I am your new mejor amigo, Sebastian! I was scooped up off the streets of Mexico and my current fosters say, “Whoever adopts me is going to be very lucky!”
Rudi
Yo! I’m Rudi! I’m a fluffy friendly guy who loves to hang out with my people. I’m a special needs guy since I have a history of severe colitis due probably to IBD (Irritable Bowel Disease).
Columbia
Well hi there! I’m Columbia. I’m a very affectionate kitty. I had all my teeth removed earlier this year due to a condition that made me allergic to my own teeth.

Our Programs
Learn how we help animals at our shelter and in the community.
Our Shelter & Foster Program
We operate a free-roam shelter for cats and foster program for dogs and cats. We commit to the animals we rescue for life, including post-adoption support and a lifetime return policy.
Animal Aid Cares Fund
The Cares Fund is a partnership with local veterinary clinics to assist with financial aid for urgent medical or behavioral care. Since 2011, we have provided more than $50,000 in lifesaving grants.
Our Heartstrings Program
We specialize in helping animals we call Heartstrings Pets. These longer-term adoptables may be senior animals, shy or undersocialized pets, or animals with medical or behavioral needs.
