We need foster homes to continue saving more lives! If you are interested in fostering or have questions, please don’t hesitate to reach out. Fostering isn’t a lifetime commitment, it’s a commitment to saving a life!

We have two great happy tails to share! Michelangelo has settled in nicely and claimed his favorite spot on mom’s lap. Our cute puppy named Evan, now named Tucker, has also been adopted. He plans to keep mom and dad very busy!

It’s National Volunteer Appreciation Week so we want to give a special shout out to all of our incredible volunteers that continue to help us save lives! Whether you process adoption applications, conduct home visits, or foster an animal, you are an essential piece of our rescue!

It’s National Dog Bite Prevention Week so we want to share some resources! According to the ASPCA, half of the people receiving medical care each year for dog bites are children. You can help prevent bites by sharing resources and educating yourself about bite prevention.

These three pups are on their way to us from an overcrowded shelter. We will place these dogs in a foster home so we can make sure that a forever home is in their future! If you are interested in fostering, please email [email protected].
