Passionately serving animals and the people they love for 50 years and counting
Meet Your Furever Friend
Our adoptables can’t wait to find their match!
Cindy
Cindy is looking for a patient, long-term foster home, preferably with someone with bully breed, herding breed, or general dog-behavior experience as Cindy has a lot to learn!
Scotty
Hey, what’s up? I’m Scotty. I’m a big buddy cat who was wandering the streets for many months before a nice person rescued me.
Yoshi
Calling all homebodies! If you’re retired or work from home and your idea of a night out is a night in, we have just the pup for you! Yoshi is looking for his soulmate(s) and will gladly be your cuddle buddy for movie nights.
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).

Our Programs
Learn how we help animals at our shelter and in the community.
Rescue 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.
Heartstrings Program
We specialize in helping animals we call Heartstrings Pets. These longer-term rescues may be senior animals, under-socialized or shy animals, or animals with medical or behavioral needs.
Animal Aid Cares Fund
The Cares Fund is a partnership with local veterinarians and trainers to assist with urgent medical or behavioral care. Since 2011, the fund has provided over $50,000 in lifesaving grants.
It takes a pack program
Formally established in 2021, this community supply sharing initiative distributes surplus animal food and supply donations to other rescues, groups, and animal guardians in need.
