Our adoptables can’t wait to find their match!

Liam
Hi, I’m shy and sweet Liam. My life was a stable one before my person had to go into assisted living. I need to go home with my sister, Lyra.
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.
Sabrina
I’m an outgoing and curious cat who likes to be in on the action and knows how to speak her mind.

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.
