According to the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty approximately 6.5 million companion animals enter U.S. animal shelters nationwide every year, and of those 6.5 million, 1.5 million shelter animals are euthanized.  Our goal is to work within our community and outlying communities to raise awareness, rescue animals, and create the resources and opportunities for our local animal shelter to become 100% no-kill through the involvement of our local community and volunteers. We save lives through the work of volunteers.  We take photos of the animals to promote adoption.  We contact rescues about the dogs and cats they accept.  We take animals to the vet, pay for their health certificates, vaccinations, spay/neuters, injuries, foster care and transport.  We also work with our local pet store to place cats and kittens into forever homes.  We man a hotline for people to call us and look for ways to help animals and save lives.
