Meet Your Furever Friend
Our adoptables can’t wait to find their match!
Sterling
Hello there, I’m Sterling. I’m a distinguished gentleman looking for a new home. I’m quiet and affectionate but can be shy at first. It takes me some time to trust but once I do I’m your good buddy.
Cooper
MEOW! I’m Cooper and I’m super duper! I’m a few years old but I act like a kitten in a lot of ways. I have unlimited energy and I go, go, go! I need a home that has a lot of time to play with me and hold me.
Maggie
I’m about 12 years old, but I’m very healthy and I love people. As you can see, I also love my best friend, Eddie, so we need to go home together.
Pip
I’m looking for my one-and-only, and I mean that literally: I’m in search of a one-person household where I can also be the only animal.

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.
