LOAR's mission is to rescue cats and dogs who have been abandoned, abused or are no longer able to stay in their homes.  We provide love, shelter, food, companionship and medical care until permanent placement is secured.  We are dedicated to bringing an end to suffering of those creatures who wish nothing more than to bring unconditional love and joy to human companions.  With overwhelming numbers of animals euthanized in the United States each year, we are addressing the urgent need for population control by offering a spay/neuter assistance program for the public.
