Meet Your Furever Friend
Our adoptables can’t wait to find their match!
Hank-Adoption Pending!
Meeeooww! I’m Hank! I’m a super affectionate senior gentleman. I am a cool cat and just want to chill on your lap and be buddies.
Lucy
Well hello, it’s nice to meet you. I’m Lucy and I’m looking for my new best friend. I have big beautiful eyes and soft fur.
Maggie-Adoption Pending!
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.
Lyra
I’m shy and sweet Lyra. My life was a calm one before my person had to go into assisted living. I need to go home with my brother, Liam.

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.
